Brazil call up another Flamengo player | OneFootball

World Champion with Flamengo U-20, Goalkeeper Léo Nannetti Trained with the Senior Brazilian National Team

In addition to Samuel Lino, the Brazilian National Team had another Flamengo player participating in activities this Monday (01). However, this was not a new option for coach Carlo Ancelotti for the World Cup Qualifiers, but rather for the team’s first training session. The U-20 world champion goalkeeper Léo Nannetti was at Granja Comary to complete the session.

Not only the Flamengo goalkeeper, but four other youngsters from the youth academies of Rio de Janeiro teams also took part: Huguinho (right-back from Botafogo), Léo Lance (left-back from Fluminense), Marquinhos (center-back from Botafogo), and Gustavo Dohnamm (midfielder from Fluminense). On social media, the Mengão youngster shared a moment from the activity.

“An honor,” wrote Léo Nannetti, in a photo alongside Bento, from Al Nassr (SAU). In addition, images from the training session released by the CBF showed the Flamengo goalkeeper receiving guidance from Taffarel, the National Team’s goalkeeping coach, and being welcomed by Ancelotti.

WHEN WILL THE BRAZILIAN NATIONAL TEAM PLAY?

With a Flamengo player on the roster, but not Léo Nannetti—rather, Samuel Lino—Brazil faces Chile and Bolivia in the last two rounds of the World Cup Qualifiers. The first match takes place on Thursday (04), at Maracanã. The second is scheduled for El Alto, the opponent’s home, at 4,000 meters above sea level.

WHEN WILL LÉO NANNETTI BE BACK ON THE FIELD?

After his experience with the Brazilian National Team, Léo Nannetti is now focused on his next commitments with Flamengo. The Flamengo U-20 team will take the field on Saturday (06), against Vasco, in the Campeonato Carioca for the category. The match kicks off at 9:30 am (Brasília time), at Gávea.
