Maracanã will close for two years due to construction work for the 2014 World Cup. Until then, Flamengo players and fans will have to live with only the fond memories they have of the glories the Red-Blacks achieved at the World's Greatest Stadium. And one of the unforgettable memories for the nation is the most recent title won there. In a poll conducted by the official website, asking internet users "What is your unforgettable title at Maracanã?", the vast majority of red-black fans voted for "Flamengo x Grêmio - Hexa in 2009", with 55% of the votes. "Flamengo x Vasco - Tri Carioca in 2001" had 26% of the votes. Next came Flamengo x Atlético-MG - Brazilian Championship in 1980 and Flamengo x Botafogo - Brazilian Championship in 1992 (9%) and Flamengo x Vasco - Carioca in 1978 (1%).
For the player who was marked as the title hero, defender Ronaldo Angelim, the moment of his header, which bulged the net against Grêmio and gave Flamengo a 2-1 victory over Tricolor Gaúcho, will be eternalized.
"That was a game that will remain in my memory, for the fans, and for all the players and coaching staff who were there. Flamengo hadn't won this title in 17 years. It was the most important moment of my career," he said.
