It seems to have been love at first sight. Since his signing, Felipe has won over the Flamengo fans. Proof of this was his first training session with a considerable number of fans present, last Friday (January 07.01th), at the Estádio do Café, in Londrina. The goalkeeper was one of the most sought-after players during the activity: he signed autographs, took photos, and had his name chanted a lot.

After shining at Corinthians, the club with the biggest fan base in the state of São Paulo, Felipe is having the chance to play for Flamengo, the most beloved team in Brazil, and he already shows an understanding of how much this represents. Taking advantage of the excitement of the Londrina fans, he calls everyone to the friendly match on Sunday (09.01), at 16 pm, against the city's team.

"We know that wherever Flamengo goes, regardless of the state, the stadium is always full. We imagined this, but it was more than I thought. In this sun, the fans come, they cheer, and that's very good. Hopefully, everyone will come on Sunday too, and we can come away with the victory," he stated.

Individually, Felipe also appreciates the fans' affection. Coming from a family of Flamengo supporters, he understands the power the Nation wields and hopes to continue counting on the fans' support for a long time.

"For me, the fans' affection is extremely important. I'm happy. I receive affection from many fans. I'm impressed and I'm going to do my best to reciprocate that and for them to like me for a long time to come," he concluded.
