Zico on Flamengo's history before the Museum: "It was lying on the floor"


"Everything we fought and sweated for over the years was thrown to the ground. From that day on, I began to take action so that this wouldn't happen to the history that was to come , beyond football. Seeing all this today is gratifying," said Zico .


The idol also emphasized the value of the space for fans and athletes: " This tribute is from the club, from its history, from the club I learned to love . All the sweat I shed in training and games was because I was a Flamengo fan. I'm very happy. Every fan should know about this place. Here are the athletes and employees who helped the club become what it is today," he added.

FLAMENGO MUSEUM NUMBERS


In two years, the Museum has welcomed more than 240,000 visitors. The club plans to make Mengão's history "traveling," taking the collection to states in the North and Northeast . Among those honored is Olivinha, considered the "god of race" in basketball:

"I feel privileged. I've been here almost half my life and been through a lot. Having a bust here, next to Zico, is incredible. I never imagined it .

THE MEETING OF THE IDOLS

The celebration in Gávea featured moments where attendees shared memorable stories. Zico, for example, revealed that the goal he celebrated most in his life was Rondinelli's in the 1978 Campeonato Carioca final against Vasco.

Flamengo officially renewed Guillermo Varela's contract until December 2027 this Friday (15), as previously reported by Gazeta do Urubu.   . The signing took place at Ninho do Urubu, with the presence of the football technical director, José Boto.


An important player for Filipe Luís in 2025, Varela has played 35 games this season, starting 21 of them, scoring one goal and providing three assists. His versatility, also playing as a left-back and defensive midfielder, reinforces his value to the coaching staff.


Varela on the deal with Flamengo: "Everything was done very calmly"
VARELA DOESN'T HIDE HIS JOY


Negotiations had been dragging on since the beginning of the year, involving discussions about contract length, bonuses, and salary . The deal ends a period of uncertainty, especially given Wesley's likely departure for European football.

"I'm very happy to stay here, a little longer wearing this shirt, with this club. It was a smooth negotiation for both parties. They wanted me to stay, and I wanted to stay . So, everything was done very smoothly," said the Uruguayan.


NUMBERS AND TITLES FOR FLAMENGO

Since arriving at Flamengo in 2022, Varela has played 108 matches and scored three goals . During this period, he won five titles: Libertadores (2022), Copa do Brasil (2024), Supercopa (2025) and two Campeonato Cariocas (2024 and 2025).

Chance as a starter

With the ankle sprain suffered by Emerson Royal in the first leg of the round of 16 of the Libertadores, Varela should take over as starter in the next matches against Internacional . Royal is practically out of this Sunday's duel (17), for the Brasileirão, and remains doubtful for the decisive match next Wednesday (20).
