Not even a delay of more than an hour prevents the more than 400 red-black fans from welcoming the delegation at Confins airport on Friday night.
The Flamengo delegation was welcomed late Friday night by more than 400 fans at Confins Airport in Minas Gerais. Not even a delay of just over an hour deterred the Flamengo fans from seeing their idols up close.
The flight was scheduled to arrive in Belo Horizonte around 22 p.m., but only arrived around 23:15 p.m. this Friday. According to the captain, who admitted to being a Flamengo fan, the delay was due to heavy air traffic at Galeão Airport in Rio de Janeiro.
"I'm honored that my team is on the flight. I hope they have a great game. Good luck!" said the captain as soon as the plane landed in Confins.
But the team wasn't just greeted with affection. According to a military police officer, more than 400 Flamengo fans were waiting for the team at the venue. Adriano, Petkovic, and Bruno were the most celebrated and only managed to get on the bus with the help of numerous security guards.
- Pet, you are our hope against Galo – said a fan repeatedly.
About 20 cars followed the Flamengo bus to the hotel where the Flamengo delegation is staying in Belo Horizonte. This Saturday afternoon, the team will train at the América-MG training center. Flamengo faces Atlético-MG on Sunday at 16 p.m. at Mineirão Stadium.
