About to witness the first professional soccer title fight of her tenure as president of Flamengo, Patricia Amorim was featured in the American newspaper The New York Times. Under the headline "Off the Field, a Woman Tames Brazilian Soccer Fans," the publication highlights that the crowd of fans who filled Gávea Stadium on the day of Ronaldinho Gaúcho's presentation chanted loudly: "Patrícia! Patrícia!"
The "New York Times" highlights that the director had a difficult first year as club president. A quote from writer Ruy Castro was even used: "She had all the bad luck you could imagine." However, according to the newspaper, "Mrs. Amorim," 42, faced the worst moments with the audacity of a great competitor.
"Sometimes we think something is so horrible that there's no light at the end of the tunnel. But you might be lucky enough to get through it all, because you can turn things around even faster," said the president of the club.
