Gávea is already packed with Flamengo fans. The presentation event for star player Ronaldinho doesn't start for about an hour, but Flamengo fans have already lined up at one of the clubhouse entrances. The attacking midfielder will be welcomed by samba friends such as Diogo Nogueira, Grupo Revelação, and Dudu Nobre. The expected attendance is 20, and it's estimated that half of that crowd is already at the club.
The organized fan groups brought banners, flags, and musical instruments and have already started the party. All fans who show up wearing Flamengo jerseys are welcome to enter. Some celebrities, such as Diogo Nogueira, actor Thiago Fernandes, and last year's Flamengo muse, have also arrived. Vagner Love, a Flamengo fan at heart, one of Flamengo's standout players in early 2010, is another who showed up to welcome Ronaldinho.
"For me, it was the best thing that happened to Flamengo in the last few decades. With a signing like that, for 2011, I expect goals and titles, obviously. Because I don't even expect incredible plays. I'm already sure he'll do it. We're not going to put on a show, just a little teaser for this crowd, and to get the crowd excited right away, I'm going to play the red-and-black samba," said Diogo Nogueira.
At around 15:30 pm, the artists present, except the musicians, went up on stage, set up in the stands, and began to play songs encouraging Flamengo along with the fans.
