Leo Nannetti had a truly special experience. Even though he is only 18 years old, Flamengo’s under-20 goalkeeper was available to the Brazilian National Team at the World Cup. With that in mind, Coluna do Fla brings details about the keeper’s schedule after the end of the Seleção’s run in the tournament.
Brazil’s last match ended this Sunday (05), when Ancelotti’s team lost 2-1 to Norway in the round of 16 and were therefore eliminated from the World Cup. After that, the Seleção is already packed and ready to leave the United States.
According to Coluna do Fla’s reporting, Leo Nannetti will be one of the few players on the CBF charter flight leaving the United States and arriving in Rio de Janeiro this Tuesday (07). From the moment he arrives in Rio, the goalkeeper will once again be Flamengo’s responsibility.
With that, Flamengo has already set up a plan for Leo Nannetti. As soon as he returns to the “Marvelous City,” Leo Nannetti will be given a few days off. As a result, the expectation is that the goalkeeper will rest the entire week and will not play in Flamengo under-20’s match on Sunday (12), in the Otávio Pinto Guimarães Cup (OPG).
HOW DID LEO NANNETTI PERFORM AT THE WORLD CUP?
Goalkeeper Leo Nannetti was given a golden opportunity with the Brazilian National Team. Even though he was not on Ancelotti’s squad list, the Flamengo player was called up by Taffarel to take part in Seleção training.
Leo Nannetti’s call-up happened because Taffarel, Brazil’s goalkeeping coach, likes to work with four players in the position. As such, Flamengo’s under-20 keeper was part of the entire process, which began at Granja Comary and continued in the United States.
DID LEO NANNETTI PLAY IN ANY OF BRAZIL’S WORLD CUP MATCHES?
Because he was not on the official squad list, Leo Nannetti was not even included in the matchday squads for Brazil’s World Cup games. However, it is worth noting that the goalkeeper was present in person at all of the team’s matches during the tournament.
WHAT IS LEO NANNETTI’S SITUATION AT FLAMENGO?
Over the past few seasons, Leo Nannetti has been one of the standout players on Flamengo’s under-20 team. That reputation came from his strong performances in several title-winning campaigns. One of the most recent was the Club World Cup in the category, when the goalkeeper saved penalties against Barcelona (ESP), sealing Mengão’s title at the Maracanã.
After returning from the World Cup, Leo Nannetti will also look to earn opportunities with the senior team. At the moment, the goalkeeper is under contract with Flamengo until the end of 2029, with a release clause of around 70 million euros (about R$ 412 million at the current exchange rate) for foreign clubs.
