4 Flamengo players are among the most valued in Brazil

Flamengo idol Adriano Imperador stated in an interview that he played more than some of the biggest names in world football. With a career marked by talent, physical strength, and humility , "Didico" continues to be fondly remembered by Flamengo fans.

During an appearance on the show Boteco do Chula, Adriano was asked if he had performed at a higher level than stars like Ronaldo, Romário, Ibrahimovic, Mbappé, Lewandowski, and Gabigol . The former player candidly stated that he considers himself superior to some of them.

In the Emperor's opinion, Kyllian Mbappé, Robert Lewandowski, and Gabigol are behind him . However, according to Adriano himself, Romário, Ibrahimovic , and Ronaldo Fenômeno are in a higher tier.

2009 BRAZILIAN CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE

Adriano's most significant connection with the club came in the 2009 Brazilian Championship . During that campaign, the striker played in 30 of the 38 rounds, scoring 19 goals and contributing four assists. With him on the field, the team recorded 15 wins, seven draws, and eight losses. This victory was decisive not only for the club's recent history, but also for the Emperor's career.

2009 ACHIEVEMENT

Adriano recalls that title as the greatest moment of his career on the field. In a recent interview with GE, he highlighted the team's unity as a determining factor in winning the trophy: " Theoretically, I was down there, the team wasn't doing well. An unforgettable title for me. The group was very good. We really came together, and that made it possible for us to be champions, for sure ."

Flamengo hosts Cruzeiro on October 2nd at 8:30 pm in a match valid for the 26th round of the Brazilian Championship . The match will be played at Maracanã, and fans can already plan to guarantee their presence at another great match for the red-and-black team.

Former player Muller, a four-time World Cup winner, praised Flamengo's squad in an interview with Charla Podcast, stating that the Rio de Janeiro club already boasts the best squad in South America. According to him, the team is prepared to compete in all competitions at full strength , in addition to having a significant financial advantage over its domestic rivals.

Muller emphasized that building its own stadium would be a game-changer for Mengão: " The only thing Flamengo needs and doesn't have yet is a stadium. If they have one, no one will stop them . It'll be 50, 60,000 people every game. If the Maracanã is already always full... imagine if they had their own stadium. Who's going to stop a team like that? Look at the revenue."

The project has been under discussion for some time, and initial steps have already been taken to ensure that the fans' dream is realized soon, transforming the club into an even more consolidated powerhouse on the national scene.

FLAMENGO IS SUPERIOR TO THE NATIONAL TEAM

The former player was full of praise for Mais Querido : " Take this Flamengo team today. Today. They won't lose to the national team, and if you're not careful, they're better than Jorge Jesus's on paper ." Muller also highlighted coach Filipe Luís's wide range of options, noting that players like Everton Cebolinha are rarely used, despite their goalscoring record for the national team.

NEXT APPOINTMENT

Flamengo is focused on the next match on the calendar. Filipe Luís' team faces Juventude, this Sunday (14), at 4 pm (Brasília time), at Alfredo Jaconi Stadium, in a match valid for the 23rd round of the Brazilian Championship.
