Description:

Since he was a child, Caio had a big dream – make a debut in Flamengo first team. It is possible that this dream will become a reality sooner than anyone ever expected. He is considered to be the greatest talent from “Rubro-Negro” academy since the appearance of Adryan, another “Fla” wonderkid. He was a mamber of Brazil national team during FIFA U-17 World Cup 2013, in which despite a good start, “Canarinhos” were eliminated unexpectedly already in the quarter-finals. Although he was a little in the shade of Nathan, Gabriel Boschilia or Mosquito, but He showed his best side and was certainly noticed by experts and scouts from around the world.

Quotes:

“With Boschilia of Sao Paulo another creative force to one side and Flamengo’s Caio Rangel a more direct runner to the other, Brazil have plentiful options.”
