The Nest's Creations made history last Saturday (23), by winning the back-to-back U-20 Club World Cup against Barcelona (ESP). After a 2-2 draw in normal time, Flamengo came out on top in the penalty shootout. The hero of the match, goalkeeper Léo Nannetti, recalled the decision and chose the most beautiful save of the match.
— The most beautiful was at the end, that low shot that their number 7 shot and I managed to save. But the hardest was the face to face, at 80 (minutes), which hit my foot and went out. I even celebrated, because it was a very significant save, which held the result at that moment. And I managed to help the team -, he said, before concluding:
— I haven't fully realized it yet. On the night after the title, I couldn't even sleep from so much adrenaline. It was a significant title, the most special moment of my career. I got to enjoy it with friends, family, staff, teammates. It was a unique moment, which will always stay in my memory -, concluded Léo Nannetti, in an interview with 'FlamengoTV'.
Yes! Keeping an eye on possible interest from European clubs, Flamengo renewed the contract with Léo Nannetti and established a value in case of 'break' of agreement. Thus, the young man is linked with Mengão until the end of 2029, in addition to a termination clause of 70 million euros (about R$ 445 million).
Léo Nannetti came to Flamengo to be part of the club's U-9. Now 18 years old, the goalkeeper participates daily in training with the professional team of Mengão, with coach Filipe Luís. The young man, who was listed for four of the Most Loved's matches this season, seeks to receive more opportunities after his historic performance last Saturday (23).
