Masks, Ronaldinho shirts, Flamengo flags... The atmosphere around the Engenhão stadium is one of a decisive match. It's the debut of the new number 10 in the red-and-black jersey. Fans of the Gávea team are arriving in large numbers at the Engenhão for the match that kicks off at 22 PM against Nova Iguaçu. All of the more than 37 tickets on sale sold out on Monday (January 30.01th), and the expectation is for more than 40 Flamengo supporters in the stadium.

Fans from all over Rio de Janeiro are already at the stadium. Fernando Souza, a 20-year-old student, left Niterói and arrived at Engenhão in the early hours of the evening. According to him, the investment and the "hassle" of returning home in the early hours of the morning will be worth it to witness this historic moment.

"It's a unique moment. The suffering to buy a ticket, to arrive here early, was worth it... I'm very happy to be a part of this. Hopefully Flamengo will get a victory and Ronaldinho will put on the show that everyone knows he's capable of," he stated.
