A Flamengo fan since he was a child, Danilo had to play in Portugal, Spain, Italy and England before returning to his roots. The defender's signing with Flamengo was not just another chapter in the player's successful career. For him, it was the end of an emotional cycle that began in Bicas, a city in Minas Gerais where he grew up surrounded by Flamengo fans.
During an interview with FIFA, in preparation for the new format of the Club World Cup, the defender went beyond the competition and delved into fond memories of Flamengo. Among them, Petkovic's legendary goal in the 2001 Carioca final . "After that goal, I didn't see anything else. I ran out into the street... I didn't watch the game again. My family is Flamengo, everyone is Flamengo", he said, with a nostalgic smile.
"That last step was missing" - said Danilo in an interview with FIFA
At the time, Danilo was only nine years old. He was already a fan of Romário, but it was Pet's three-finger shot, in the 43rd minute of the second half, that immortalized the feeling. The title-winning goal against Vasco is in the memory of millions of fans — and for Danilo, it was a turning point. Despite his consolidated career, with stints at Real Madrid, Manchester City and Juventus, the defender made it clear that there was still a space to be filled in his professional journey. And that space had a name, color and fans.
“Even though I had fulfilled a million dreams and played for the biggest clubs in European football, there was still one last important step missing – wearing the Flamengo jersey,” he said. The warm welcome from the fans and the routine at the Ninho do Urubu training center had an impact on Danilo from the very first few days. The defender says that, as he walked through the corridors of the training center, a “movie” played in his head when he saw a specific photo on the wall.
“When I arrived at Ninho, it was a very special moment. There are several photos on the wall. Some of them, especially the one of Petkovic, played like a movie in my head,” he recalled. The symbolic weight of his arrival at Flamengo is also reinforced by the cultural change that Danilo feels in the stands . Accustomed to the more restrained behavior of European fans, he is impressed by the energy of the Nation at Maracanã.

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.
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.
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 ."
