In a crucial match week, any help is valuable. Especially from a die-hard Flamengo fan. After helping Flamengo win its sixth Brazilian championship last year, Ibson transferred to Russian football, but he never stopped following the day-to-day running of his beloved club.

A Flamengo fan since childhood, the midfielder, who has been in Rio de Janeiro since the Russian championship was suspended due to the World Cup, came to Flamengo's headquarters this Tuesday (18.05) to see old friends and tour his second home. After the visit, he left for Ninho do Urubu, where he will support his teammates, who are preparing for the most important match of the year, against Universidad de Chile, on Thursday (20.05), in Santiago.

"I'm going to give the guys a hug. I have a lot of confidence in the team. I know Flamengo will return from Chile with a win and qualification under their belt. I watched the last game and I think the team performed well. The only thing missing was more chances to get the ball in the net. We had a lot of chances to score, but now, in Chile, we'll find the back of the net. I'm betting on a 2-3 or 0-XNUMX," revealed Ibson.

And it's not just Flamengo's football that the midfielder follows. Keeping up with the club's other sports, Ibson commented on the team's heroic basketball victory against Franca last week in the NBB semifinals.

"I saw that game where Marcelinho made the three-pointer at the end. It was exciting. I hope to go to the Arena to see the first game of the final, against Brasília. Just call me and I'll go," concluded, joking, the former number 7 of Fla.

Ibson currently plays in Russian football. His club, Spartak Moscow, is sixth in the Russian league with 16 points. The current league leader is Zenit, with 24.
