The Brazilian National Team began its preparation with full focus on the FIFA Date. In the training schedule, the ‘Amarelinha’ called Léo Nannetti to participate in the activities. On the very first day of exercise, the goalkeeper from Flamengo shared how the experience has been and, moreover, heaped praise on Taffarel, the goalkeeping coach of the ‘Canarinho’.
— An inexplicable feeling. An experience I am living, training alongside my idols. Being next to Taffarel and having him give me advice during training was a wonderful sensation. It's all about listening and absorbing as much as possible. I also have a lot to learn from Bento and Hugo, who are two great goalkeepers representing the national team. Absorb the information, evolve, and I have a lot to learn from them -, said Léo Nannetti in an interview with ‘CBF TV’.
Léo Nannetti is not on the list of call-ups for Brazil's matches against Chile and Bolivia, for the Qualifiers. However, the national team's technical staff invited the Flamengo goalkeeper to participate in the training sessions before the match against the Chileans, on Thursday (04), at Maracanã.
Even at just 18 years old, Léo Nannetti is experiencing one of the best phases of his career. This is because, in addition to being called to join Brazil's training sessions, the Ninho product was one of the ‘heroes’ of Flamengo's victory over Barcelona (ESP) in the U-20 Club World Cup. Finally, the athlete is also already participating in activities with the Mengão professionals.
While Léo Nannetti is with the Brazilian National Team, the Flamengo squad is enjoying a break. The team's reassembly is scheduled for next Friday (05), at the CT Ninho do Urubu. The team will only take the field on September 14, when they face Juventude, for the 23rd round of the Brasileirão. The match kicks off at 4 PM (Brasília time), at Alfredo Jaconi Stadium, in Caxias do Sul.
