The youngsters from Ninho have plenty of reasons to celebrate. That's because, this Saturday (07), Flamengo beat Fluminense 2-0 and, with that, won the title of the Recopa Carioca U-15.

The classic between Flamengo and Fluminense took place under the strong morning sun this Saturday (07), at the Gávea Stadium. The goals for Mengão were scored by Davi Borges in the first half, and by Samuel Barbosa, towards the end of the match.

“It was a really great feeling to win this title and help the team by saving the penalty. I’m very happy with the match,” said Alessandro in an interview after winning the title to the official Flamengo website.

Besides Alessandro, other Flamengo figures spoke after the confirmation of the rubro-negro title. One of them was Alfredo Almeida, who is the club’s youth manager. In his speech, the Portuguese made clear the importance of the triumph for the players’ development.

“We must never forget that victory and the title are a consequence for the youth system. We don’t just seek to win, we seek ‘how we win’. And the same applies when we don’t win. It’s not simply about not winning the title, it’s about understanding why we didn’t win. I believe the consequence is greater than the result,” said Alfredo.
