More news about the new sponsorship

By: André | Comments 1 Comment

Sorry guys. I miscalculated. It is a R$ 105 million (US$ 52,5 million) on a five-year contract.

On pre-sale (one week period), Flamengo already sold 204.840 shirts. Incredible, considering that Nike used to sell around 120.000 jerseys a year.

Here is a image comparing the old shirt and the new one. Besides that, you can also compare fat and slim Adriano.

New sponsorship and new kits

By: André | Comments Add Comments

I remember writing somthing about Olympikus here, but I didn’t find it. Here is the deal. Last year, Flamengo had some problems with Nike and signed a contract with Olympikus. I may be wrong but the values were around R$ 200 million on a fiver year contract. Read the rest of this entry »

What happened?

By: André | Comments Add Comments

The same friend and a new post.

I mean, what is happening?

Flamengo was playing very good, then we lost “Copa do Brasil” quarter-finals in the last minute to Internacional.

It seems that everything fell apart from that moment on. First, defeated by Sport in a 4×2 dramatic match. Then, a shameful game. 5×0 for Coritiba.

As some LOVE to say, Crisis at Flamengo! Read the rest of this entry »

Que torcida é essa?

By: André | Comments 2 Comments

What can I say about the supporters? They have been great since the State Championship. We have always been known as a team of two groups of supporters: “Raça Rubro Negra” and “Torcida Jovem do Flamengo”. But now, a new group is getting bigger. They are called Urubuzada and they are doing a great job.

You can see it here.

And I’ll show you some videos. They were recorded last Sunday. The first three videos were from the moment the team got into the field. The last one is when Adriano scores.

Adriano, L’Imperatore di Rio de Janeiro

By: André | Comments 2 Comments


Adriano is officially back. He debuted last Sunday against Atlético-PR and what an amazing way to restart his career. He scored one goal, forced the other team to score an own goal and was the best player. Incredible! Read the rest of this entry »

Right and wrong

By: André | Comments 2 Comments

Some say Flamengo is not working to improve, that the board is a complete mess and they are not trying to make the best decisions to the team. I disagree. True must be said, so here I am to do it.
It’s known that Flamengo is on the hands of the same people for decades, just like almost every other team. We now have a R$ 300 million debt, something around US$ 150 million. I am proud to say we are the greatest in something else than supporters. Read the rest of this entry »
