Fans welcome the Flamengo delegation in Salvador: the team faces Vitória on Wednesday

Flamengo is far from having the majority of fans in Salvador. But, even though they are a minority in absolute numbers, the Rio de Janeiro Red-Black fans showed strength on Tuesday night. The scenes from (almost) every arrival in northeastern cities were repeated. The team's arrival at Luís Eduardo Magalhães Airport was attended by over 400 people. Not even the absence of Adriano, called up to the Brazilian national team, dampened the spirits of the Bahians. Hysterical screams and flashes abounded. Petkovic received a standing ovation, and Bruno was chased by the crowd until he got on the bus. "Wow, Bruno is beautiful," sighed a fan, tears in her eyes. During the 1-hour and 40-minute flight, most of the athletes preferred to rest. Some, including Angelim and Diego, opted for playing cards as a distraction. \ In sixth place in the Brazilian Championship, with 41 points, Flamengo faces Vitória this Wednesday, at 21:50 pm (Brasília time), at Barradão.
