Friday. The eve of the derby and the 2025 debut. Glaucia woke up, left the house, and did her normal routine. She trained, and as soon as she finished, she got ready and went to CFZ for a start-of-season interview.

Upon arriving, she entered the auditorium, still unsure of what was to come. While chatting about the call-up and other matters, Zico appeared. The reaction was immediately one of surprise. It was the beginning of a new era for the attacking midfielder.

Quintino's Galinho had a gift. Actually, an endorsement. Holding a box, our greatest idol walked toward the athlete, and the scene was hair-raising. Inside, the number ten jersey. Starting today, February 14th, Glaucia will give up the number nine jersey, which has accompanied her entire career thus far, to honor the sacred number. A significant step for someone who earns it daily, works tirelessly for personal and professional development, and is proud to wear the Mantle.

"I confess I wasn't expecting it. When I saw Zico in front of me, I froze. When he handed me the shirt, I didn't know what to say. It's unlike anything else. He wished me luck and success, so it was sensational. I've never worn the number 10 shirt. And it couldn't have been better the first time... It's Flamengo's number 10. Zico's. An entire nation's. I'm thrilled and feel prepared," she said.

Describing feelings when it comes to something incredible is difficult. The star player used all the emotion of the moment to praise the arrival of women's soccer at CFZ.

"It's like a movie, isn't it? We're kind of in disbelief. The respect he has for women's soccer really moves me. This isn't about Glaucia, it's about the sport. Flamengo's biggest idol is opening the doors of his training center, his entire structure, to us. It's a huge win. I received the number 10 jersey from him, but for me, it goes beyond that. We're all happy with this step the club takes. And receiving this affection is fantastic," she declared.

Always smiling, Zico ended the meeting projecting many goals and wishing victories and titles for the Menina da Gávea in this new chapter of history.

With the King's approval and the number ten shirt on her back, Glaucia is ready, along with the team, to face Vasco this Saturday (15), at 10 am, for the opening of the Copa Rio.
