First place in group A of the Carioca Sub-18 with eight points in three games, Flamengo continues to strengthen in the category before the registration deadline. The new face this time is defender/midfielder Alessandra, who is already training with the group and should make her debut next Wednesday (1), against Duque de Caxias, at CEFAN.

Alessandra began her career with the Legião Feminina project, located in Duque de Caxias. Her good height and ease with the ball caught the eye, leading her to train in two different positions from a young age. Determined and feisty, the young woman arrives determined to write her own story. 

"It's very rewarding to be defending the Sacred Mantle. I've always dreamed of playing for Flamengo, and I'm so happy to be able to make it happen. When I arrived here on the first day, I was so emotional and it was hard to contain it. The Red-Black Nation can be sure that I'll do everything I can to bring the club to the top," he said, tears welling up in his eyes.
