Flamengo keeper Andrew on progress with his feet: “Since my arrival…” | OneFootball

What did Andrew say about his development since arriving at Flamengo?

The goalkeeper position has been revolutionized in the 21st century. As a result, playing with the feet is one of the new demands of the role. Flamengo’s No. 42, Andrew revealed how he has been working to improve in that area.

— In today’s football landscape, it’s important for a goalkeeper to have good game awareness and good passing. With medium and long passes, I’ve always had a good success rate. Since my arrival at Flamengo, the goalkeeping coaches identified room for adjustment and improvement in targeted passing — he said, before concluding:

— Passing is the result of good work done together. It’s worth highlighting Thiago Eller’s and Fabinho’s ability to identify that and help me in this development — Andrew concluded in an interview with ‘Lance!’.

How much did Flamengo pay to sign Andrew?

Flamengo offered 1.5 million euros (approximately R$ 9.4 million) + 10% of a future sale for the immediate release of Andrew. As a result, Gil Vicente (POR) accepted the offer and released the goalkeeper to sign a four-year contract with the Rubro-Negro.

Since being announced by Flamengo in January 2026, Andrew has played six matches, five in the Carioca and one in the Libertadores. During that span, the Rubro-Negro goalkeeper conceded four goals and kept three clean sheets.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

With Andrew available, Flamengo will play one more friendly before the Brazilian calendar resumes. On Friday (17), Leonardo Jardim’s team will face Olimpia (PAR) at 8:00 p.m. (Brasília time) at Mané Garrincha Stadium in Brasília.
