BRAZ CELEBRATES LÉO ORTIZ'S AGREEMENT WITH FLAMENGO: ''IT WILL HELP A LOT''

President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva shared, in a relaxed tone, an episode involving his wife, First Lady Janja da Silva, during the Club World Cup semi-final, when Flamengo was defeated by Bayern Munich 4-2 . The statement was made this Friday (4), during a Petrobras event in Rio de Janeiro.

Despite her historical connection with Corinthians , Lula stated that Janja is a passionate fan of the red-and-black club and lives intensely the moments of Mengão. According to the president, the first lady was excited when she saw the team's performance.

LULA MAKES MOCKERY WITH JANJA'S FANATICISM

Lula asked Janja to calm down during Flamengo's game: "Calm down, girl!"

“Janja is a fanatical Flamengo fan, she screams and swears. I say: ‘Calm down, girl!’”, said Lula, drawing laughter from the audience. “On Sunday, I woke her up and asked her to watch the game. Flamengo conceded a goal, I should have let her sleep. ” The president also joked about the symbolic nature of sports victories: “History is told by those who win. Look, Flamengo won’t be able to tell the story of the world title.”

TAXATION REDUCES VALUE

The participation of Mais Querido in the Club World Cup not only brought global visibility, but also a significant financial amount. The club collected gross revenue of R$149,964,110.00, considering the dollar exchange rate of R$5.41.

However, a significant portion of this amount was retained for tax obligations . According to the tax laws of Brazil and the United States, international sports revenues are subject to taxation. Therefore, the amount retained was R$60,769,139.25.

Last Friday (4), João Fonseca was dominated by Nicolás Jarry and said goodbye to Wimbledon . Even with the elimination, the confrontation left some lessons for the young tennis player. He had the opportunity to balance the match, with chances in the third and fourth sets, but ended up coming up against the Chilean's precise serve.

Despite the defeat, João Fonseca preferred to look forward when speaking after the duel. He emphasized that he could have done something differently, but that is now in the past. The young man also says that he will continue working, with a positive mindset.

João Fonseca speaks after defeat: "Could I have done something differently? I could have, but it's an "if" that doesn't help me grow as a player."

He continued: "So, it's about keeping working, with a positive mind. The lesson is that, even two sets down, you can still win the match. It's about keeping your head held high, working harder. Next year there will be more and there will be the next round . So, let's go all out there," he said.

JOÃO FONSECA RECOGNIZES THE MERITS OF HIS OPPONENT

Without complaining, João Fonseca analyzed Jarry 's performance and recognized the merit of his opponent. The young tennis player highlighted that Niko started the match well and was aggressive in his serve and returns.

"It was a tough match. Niko started off really well, aggressive on his serve and returns. I wasn't hitting my first serve and he took on a more proactive rhythm - which is something I usually do. The first two sets went by really quickly. In the fourth, it could have gone either way , but he served really well in the decisive moments. That's all thanks to him," he added.

JOAO FONSECA'S NEXT CHALLENGE

Now, João Fonseca will only return to the courts on July 26, at the ATP 500 in Toronto. Soon after, the Brazilian will head to the United States, where he is confirmed for the Masters 1000 in Cincinnati and the US Open.
