By From the official website team - in
Everyone knows that supporting Flamengo is a great pleasure. Even better is sharing your best story about the adventures you've had exercising this 'almost constitutional right' and winning prizes. The "Supporting is a Pleasure" promotion, run by the Official Flamengo Website and Cidadão Rubro-Negro, received many stories, all excellent, but only three were awarded the book "It's My Greatest Pleasure," a car flag, and a horn, all officially licensed products.
Check out the winners and their respective stories below.
Iuri de Jesus Viana (CRN 20040)
Sentence: "My friend Beto and I hitchhiked from Bahia to Rio, with R$70,00, counting both of our money. When we arrived, we stayed on the beach until game time. We got to Maracanã, bought our tickets, and had R$18,00 left."
We watched the game, Flamengo tied 1-1 with Vasco, and that night we slept at the bus station. The next day, we hitchhiked several times to get back to Bahia. This was undoubtedly the greatest and most enjoyable adventure of my life."
Washington Tavares de Moura Júnior (CRN 53111)
Quote: "2009. Now I had a fixed income and could 'invest' my money in tickets. December 6th, Flamengo vs. Grêmio, ticket in hand, and suddenly the news: ENEM exam on the same day. What to do? What every crazy Flamengo fan would do. I put on my jersey and went to the exam. I simply started marking the answer sheet without reading anything, but I was the first to leave the room. That's how I arrived at the Maracanã in time to become champion."
Péricles Cabral (CRN 83087)
Quote: "Waiting for weeks, enduring a nearly two-day bus trip, arriving at Maracanã full of hope to see Flamengo win their sixth title, only to discover there were no tickets available was a shock to my Flamengo-loving heart. But my passion was greater than any difficulty, even a financial one. And there, at Maracanã, I experienced the happiest moment of my life. My Greatest Pleasure, a story of a passion for Flamengo."
