This Wednesday (August 19th), at 10 PM, Flamengo will take the field for the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil, but while anxiously awaiting the start of the match, Flamengo fans can check out the photos that Gilvan de Souza sent to the... Official WebsiteOn World Photography Day, the photographer for the beloved team chose five images that he most enjoyed taking in the last two years.

"I took this photo in January, on the last day of training during our preseason in Atibaia. This is my favorite because Paulo Victor is an exceptional goalkeeper and I think he 'flies'. So, I wanted to use this photo to convey that feeling, that he really flies. He's a great goalkeeper, a 10 out of 10."

"I think some people won't understand the photo; it's a little different. I took it of our athlete Guerrero, from behind, with the number nine prominently displayed. I thought the hand on top of the number was very beautiful; it conveys a sense of unity. I took this picture when Guerrero scored against Náutico in the Copa do Brasil. It's the moment of celebration."

"This was when we won the world championship. This photo perfectly captures what it was like, the synergy that existed in that environment. The gymnasium was packed. At the moment the photo was taken, the crowd was cheering Herrmann, and his expression, with his arms outstretched, turned out really great. I like it a lot because of what it represented for our basketball."

"I like it because it was Guerrero's baptism, in the famous 'gauntlet'. The guys gave him a good scuffle (laughs). As is typical for someone who's just arriving. His expression trying to get away is really cool, and from the others, it really stands out. Guerrero is a good guy, very easygoing."

"This was the fifth location chosen and, of course, I couldn't leave out Gávea, our reference point, where it all began. I took this photo during our last training session there. It's unique because of the 'fisheye' lens I used. It shows an angle that almost no one sees. I opted for that. The place is beautiful, no matter where you're looking from."
