It has everything to give samba!
Ronaldinho's joy is another point highlighted by the red-blacks in Londrina

A friend of Ronaldinho Gaúcho, singer Xande de Pilares of the Grupo Revelação group said in an interview with Flamengo's official website that soccer and samba are like brothers. And anyone who follows the club's day-to-day life knows this to be true. Among the players' most popular hits are tambourines, cavaco, and tantãs. It's like that on the Flamengo bus, on the way to training or games. And it's going to be even more so now.
If those who don't like samba are foot-sick, those who do have a different ginga; a special swing. And this is a characteristic of Flamengo's new signing. Besides the constant smile on his face, Ronaldinho is a declared fan of batucada (a type of batucada), whether it's partido alto (a type of samba), samba enredo (a type of samba), or pagode. And, even in this, he'll find a warm welcome within the group. Coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo guarantees this.
"Whenever we've been together, we've treated each other with great affection. I know Ronaldinho well, I took him to a Copa América, he's fond of me, and I am fond of him, especially because he likes tambourine and so do I. He likes barbecue and so do I. So, I believe it will be very good for everyone. We won't have any problems," he said.
Right-back Leonardo Moura, the group's captain and one of its leaders, is also a professed fan of good samba and wants to join in. While Luxa has already picked up the tambourine, he's already ready to play another instrument.
"I know Ronaldinho likes to sing. The teacher has already picked up the tambourine, so for me, the tantã is left (laughs). I really like pagode, samba, and I think this joy only helps. It's a good atmosphere we have in the group, I believe he will also be very well received and we will work hard to win titles with Flamengo," he added.
