CRAQUE DO AMANHÃ CELEBRATES 12 YEARS WITH A VISIT FROM DIEGO RIBAS, FLAMENGO IDOL

Collecting several titles and goals scored, athlete Diego Ribas, an idol of Flamengo fans, surprised dozens of children on Thursday morning (9). He was present at the party celebrating 12 years of operation of the socio-sporting project Craque do Ajante, in the Arsenal neighborhood, in São Gonçalo.

The star left the field but not the sport. He is currently a football commentator and speaker, and took the opportunity to show the kids how to react to all the difficulties in life to achieve glory.

- It was a wonderful experience, I left here better than I came in. This approach to talking to children makes us feel that every effort is worth it, it's about being a positive reference in their lives. There will be many difficulties but it is possible to make dreams come true. To be, you need to invest in yourself and studying is part of that. Those who study become free - explained Diego.

The red-black idol did not fail to comment on the current phase of the Rio team, which has left fans angry.

- I perfectly understand what is happening . Flamengo hasn't played and lived up to expectations, that's part of the process but the solution is there and it's really time to bring together the leaders and the fans so that Flamengo can get back to being who it can be. Flamengo today has the best squad in Latin America, it has an extraordinary coach and the demand is very high - emphasized Diego.
