Sun, samba, funk, friends gathered, and the Nation showing up in great numbers. Nothing was missing. The setting was perfect. With arms outstretched over Guanabara Bay, even Christ the Redeemer seemed to want to look a little more to the right and watch the party on the Gávea pitch. More than 20 Flamengo fans packed the club's headquarters to welcome Ronaldinho Gaúcho. A grand celebration for the best, at the biggest stadium in the world.
Diogo Nogueira, Dudu Nobre, Mumuzinho, Jaula das Gostosudas, Valeska da Gaiola, Ivo Meirelles, Bateria da Mangueira, and Grupo Revelação were the artists who entertained the crowd on the stage set up in the stands. From 17:30 PM to 15:15 PM, there was much joy and anticipation. Finally, at 17:20 PM, Ronaldinho, accompanied by president Patricia Amorim, was welcomed to the sound of "Olê lê, olá lá, Ronaldinho vem aí e o bicho vai pegar" (a chant of cheers and chants).
From then on, the celebration was even bigger. More and more chants, euphoria on the pitch and even on stage, with the artists themselves. President Patricia Amorim, also euphoric, was economical with words: "Hello, Flamengo Nation! Ronaldinho Gaúcho is ours! He's ours!", she celebrated, passing the word to the new number 10 of Gávea.
In tears, clearly emotional, Ronaldinho was at a loss for words, but even so, he sought a way to show what he was feeling. Simply, in his own way, the player thanked everyone for their affection and sent a message: "Thank you for the affection and I hope I can reciprocate on the field. Let's go all out, Flamengo Nation. We're together. I'm with you and now I'm a Mengão fan," he stated.
Ronaldinho spent about 15 minutes on stage, receiving a standing ovation from the crowd, and shortly after, Grupo Revelação took to the stage to close the event in style. Ronaldinho will give a press conference later today.
