Patricia Amorim, president of Flamengo - Zico is our greatest idol, and we must congratulate him every day of the year for existing and supporting Flamengo. After all, he gave us so much joy and helped build our history, full of titles and achievements. Congratulations to our Galinho, who turns 57 today. May he always remain by our side, because Zico faithfully represents the greatness of Flamengo. Happy Birthday!
Vagner Love, Flamengo striker - I've been a fan of his since I was a kid. He's a guy who did a lot for Flamengo, and I can only wish him much success. I worked with him at CSKA and I can say he's always been a great professional too. I wish him good health, peace, and that he achieves even more in life. He deserves it.
Andrade, coach and former Flamengo player - Zico is a great friend, a great partner, and not just on the field. Off the field, he's always helped me a lot, always talked a lot with the group when we were players... He's a very special person and deserves all the best, from the bottom of his heart, and I think a win tomorrow will be a very important one.
Junior, former Flamengo player and commentator for Rede Globo - Galo always deserves all the best. He was a great player, a great role model, and he's also a sensational guy off the field. It was a great pleasure to play alongside him and also to have him as a friend to this day. I wish him my congratulations and all the happiness in the world.
Duda, basketball player – I wish him all the happiness in the world, and I hope he can one day make it big in basketball too. We know how important he is to the club; he was the player with the most storied history, the biggest idol of Flamengo fans, and for that, he deserves all the best.
