I echo Flávio Willeman's words and greetings. This is a very special date for me. Gratitude and loyalty are absolutely fundamental values, and we achieve nothing in life alone. I have thanks to give, starting with my family, who are all Flamengo fans. You are a source of love and energy in my life, fundamental foundations; I love you. To the friends who have always been with me, from the beginning, to our greatest idol, Zico, who today celebrates 49 years of marriage to Dona Sandra, and will be dining in style tonight. I thank the people who chose to look ahead, putting aside their differences; we concluded that the differences were minor, given how much we agreed on, thinking about Flamengo's future. I thank my work friends in my life, who trusted and believed in me, my lifelong friends, who decided to get involved in this passionate madness that is Flamengo, all our collaborators throughout our electoral journey, our 87 campaign generals, the members who decided to vote for us, everyone present. and to the red-black fans, our greatest asset, who wherever I go always have words of support,” he said.
