Idols of the past visit the team at the training center
President Marcio Braga was also at Ninho do Urubu to support the red-black group.
By Flamengo Archive - inThis Tuesday, past Flamengo idols such as Nunes, Adílio, and Julio Cesar Uri Geller were at Ninho do Urubu, along with coach Andrade, to chat with the Flamengo squad and share some of their experiences during key moments in the club's history. President Marcio Braga was also at the training center to support the players in this final stretch of the Brazilian Championship.
\One of the greatest supporters in the Club's history, Adílio said it is a great pleasure to see this team play.
\"I just want to say thank you very much. You are showing the football that Flamengo has always deserved. It's a beautiful thing. I feel very proud to be able to say that I was Brazilian champion, Libertadores champion, and World Cup champion with Flamengo. You are taking the first step. We are with you. I am happy to see Flamengo like this. And I am sure that Zico, Júnior, and Rondinelli are too. I congratulate you. You deserve it."
\Uri Geller is betting all his chips on the red-black team's sixth national title.
\"It's a joy to see Andrade in this situation. I'm watching Flamengo's games in uniform, with cleats, socks, and shin guards. I don't know if I'm more tense now or when I was playing. Flamengo is going to win. I'm betting all my chips on that. If Goiás plays like they did here at Maracanã, they can at least get a draw with São Paulo."
\For Nunes, Flamengo always grows in decisive moments.
\"The opponents fell, and Flamengo picked up the pace at the right time. Nothing happened by chance. A title is coming. Flamengo looks like a champion. Teams tremble when they see Flamengo coming."
\Andrade stated that the presence of past idols was important to encourage the group at this crucial moment in the competition.
\"The presence of these former players here at the training center is incredibly important. They are Flamengo idols, they've experienced everything here and achieved everything in their careers. They know the club like few others. Today, Flamengo has revived the great players who wore the red and black jersey. They've brought back a bit of that '80s vibe."
