The main attraction at Flamengo's stand at Soccerex, the international football fair being held at Copacabana Fort in Rio de Janeiro, was the presence of idols Adilio, Andrade, and Julio César "Uri Geller." The former Mengão players took photos with fans, held the Libertadores and World Cup trophies, and also held a raffle for the book "1981," by André Rocha and Mauro Beting, which details Mengão's victorious campaign that year.

Before the draw, the players themselves signed the books. Many people eager to win the prize watched the raffle at the Flamengo stand. Much sought after by fans, Andrade commented on the importance of the Rubro-negro's presence at an event like Soccerex. According to him, it's crucial for the club to showcase its glorious history.   

"It's interesting. An event like this tells the story of the club's history and also highlights current events, with players like Ronaldinho. This is very important. It's a way to honor the players and the club," he said.

Julio César, always in a good mood, was more surprised by the stadium projects shown at the fair.

"Last year I came and I liked it. I was impressed with the stadium designs. If they end up like this, it will be really cool. But my thing is to play... the only thing missing is a ball here," joked the 'ball bender'.

Finally, Adilio emphasized the importance of Flamengo setting up its booth at the fair. According to him, being present at Soccerex is a great way for the club to showcase its brand power.

"I think Soccerex should be held every year. Flamengo has a lot of history and tradition, so it's very important to be present at the fair to showcase all the club's work and demonstrate the strength of its marketing. This is very important," he concluded.
