By Official Website Team - in
A packed house to celebrate the passion for Flamengo. "Papo de rubro-negro" (Red-Black Chat) reached its fourth edition this Tuesday (October 25.10th) and, with the theme "red-black reliquary," brought nine mini-exhibitions of collectors' items linked to Brazil's most beloved club to the FlaConcept store in Gávea. The event also paid tribute to illustrious fans of the club and all the organized fan groups ever created.
The creator of "Papo de rubro-negro" (Red-Black Talk), the Flamengo Museum, through its director Mauro Chaves, kicked off a national campaign to identify collections linked to the club, certainly spread across the four corners of the country.
"This event marks the beginning of the campaign to identify Flamengo collections. Our Museum's works are in full swing, and we are identifying collections ranging from popular to erudite, and which are extremely important to us," said Mauro Chaves, one of the speakers that evening.
In addition to the director of the Flamengo Museum, eight other collectors exhibited some of their work. Guilherme Nogueira brought LPs, books, medals, and photographs, Vitor Eidelman brought magazines, Felipe Wangler brought objects from 1981, Bruno Nin brought shirts and tracksuits, Bruno Lucena brought DVDs of winning campaigns and complete games, Mario Helvécio brought newspapers, Ataliba Aragão brought mugs, keychains, and shirts, and Pierri de Oliveira brought matchbooks, tickets, posters, and magazines from the 50s.
Representing this entire range of passionate Flamengo fans, Guilherme Nogueira explained that anyone who helps the Flamengo Museum's campaign will not be obliged to donate their relics to it.
"I wanted to tell all collectors not to worry. You are not obligated to donate your relics to the Museum. But it's good to know that you exist so that those responsible can catalog them. The love we have for Flamengo needs to be known," said Guilherme Nogueira.
Among the fans honored in this Tuesday's Papo de rubro-negro were the three who took a vulture to Maracanã in 1969, in a game against Botafogo, and went down in history for transforming the animal into Flamengo's mascot.
"We were 18 years old and we went to every game. It was a simple joke that worked. It was magical to see that vulture, which we caught at the Caju landfill, fly around Maraca carrying the Flamengo flag. We were lucky and we beat Botafogo (2-1). From then on, at every game, the fans wanted the vulture. Flamengo fans would never accept a common mascot, it had to be different," said Luiz Octávio, accompanied by Romílson Meireles and Victor Elery.
An icon among Flamengo fans, Maria Boreth de Souza, better known as Zica, also received tributes, as did Lia Formiga (in memoriam).
Flamengo's organized fan groups also took center stage at the event. Jerseys from all the teams ever created were on display, as well as shirts from Brazilian embassies around the world. One of the founders of the Charanga Rubro-Negra was present and was deeply moved by the tribute.
"Being here today is like I was drowning and, when I was about to die, someone threw me a lifebuoy to save me. I'm very happy. Tributes like these are moving," said Antônio Soares de Azevedo, 84.
