Vinícius Júnior, created from the base of Flamengo, became a major protagonist in the fight against racism, especially in Spanish football, due to the attacks he suffered in matches for Real Madrid (ESP). In this way, Brazilian team organized a friendly against Spain this Tuesday (26) to combat crime that occurs in society. Thus, Gui Deodato, an athlete from Flabasquete, commented on the matter after another victory for Rubro Negro in the NBB and highlighted that the attacker needs help.
"Vinicius Júnior is a great example. The truth is that we shouldn't use it as an isolated symbol. It is part of a whole. As phenomenal as it is, it is truly a great weight that it carries. We go through this every day. We must help ease this burden of it," said Gui Deodato, in an interview after Flamengo's NBB match.
"I'm very happy for the representation, for the great player he is and for everything he does not only as an athlete, but also on a social level. However, I think it's past time that we not just expose it as a showcase, applauding and commercializing this kind of thing. We know that it's yet another way in which racism produces", he commented.
"I I'm very sad. It's these little things in our daily lives. We always have to be “armored” in some way, because if we expose this all the time, even if we have to expose it, we won't be able to live. Unfortunately, it is just a reflection of our society. He suffers more because he's at the top, but we here also suffer every day, and it's a completely regrettable situation", concluded the Flamengo.
VINI JR. HAS LITTLE SUPPORT IN SPAINEven with complaints of racism to the Spanish authorities, the situation seems uncontrollable. This is because Vinícius Júnior has little support in the country and from players who play in La Liga. Thus, the former Flamengo player embraced the cause and has been one of the great protagonists in the fight against racism. Thus, he received support from the CBF and Real Madrid.

For everything he experienced on the court, Olivinha is one of Flamengo's greatest idols. In FlaBasquete, he appears as the big figure, even represented by an organized fan flag. The God of Race is the only player in the club's history to win both World Cups won by the team in the sport. His importance is so valued that he will become the only athlete outside football to receive an important honor.
Like great names in football, Olivinha will receive a bust in his honor, and it will be displayed at the Flamengo Museum , in Gávea, according to the newspaper O Globo. It is the first time that a basketball player has received this type of honor at the club, which is very common with football players.
At the main entrance to Gávea, there are busts of Raul, Leandro, Marinho, Moer, Júnior, Andrade, Nunes, Adílio and Lico. Furthermore, Zico has some statues, such as one at the entrance to the Ninho do Urubu football complex. The tributes are all to the stars of the 80s who marked their time at Rubro-Negro. Now, Olivinha enters that same shelf upon receiving the bust, perpetuating herself as an eternal FlaBasquete idol.
The object has already been ordered and should be close to the idols of 1981. The tribute is prepared by the sculptor Eduardo Santos, which is already producing the item at the request of Flamengo.

However, despite reaching the final, the The team was unable to overcome Franca, finishing runner-up and Olivinha had to say a painful but emotional goodbye.
After retirement, Olivinha was given a program on Fla TV. The ‘Lance Livre’ mentions basketball, but it is not just about that topic, but rather a review of the former player with a red-and-black guest. In the premiere, for example, the character chosen was the singer Naldo Benny.

Last week, children who practice judo in the social project Jogaremos Juntos, promoted by Flamengo's Social Responsibility, had an unforgettable experience. They visited the club's headquarters, in Gávea, and trained alongside Flamengo's judo teachers and athletes, experiencing a day full of learning, discipline and sportsmanship.
In total, 70 children, from centers of Cantagalo and Queimados, had the chance to practice judo under the guidance of high-level professionals, reinforcing the values of the sport, such as respect, determination and teamwork.
At the dojô, the children were welcomed by the coach of the under-13 and under-15 red-black judo teams, Rodrigo Domiciano, who, together with club athletes, shared his experiences and spoke about the importance of dedication to progress in the sport. “In the midst of so many negative references, it is essential that these children have positive references. Here they can see that it is possible to reach a higher degree, seek a black belt, seek important competitions and this will change their realities”, he said.
For many, the day was a unique opportunity to become inspire, dream big and continue following the path of sport. “The children came very excited. They've been talking about coming here to Flamengo for a week. It's important for them to be here, in a different place, with so much structure... This all makes them want to dedicate themselves more”, said professor Alves, who teaches judo at Jogaremos Juntos - Núcleo Queimados. Cantagalo resident Leda Maria Pereira de Macedo, mother of student Davi, added. “Children who live in communities need sports so they don't get lost and judo has already got my son back on track. He now has discipline, he has become another child! Davi takes a shower, goes to bed early... I'm very happy. I'm very grateful to have the project there”, she praised.
With its own methodology, Jogaremos Juntos is an education project through sport, based on socio-emotional skills. Through it, children and young people have the opportunity to work on self-knowledge, resilience, empathy, focus and other skills that they learn from sports and put into practice to face and overcome challenges in life, whether at school, in family or with friends.
In total, the project serves 800 children in six communities in Rio de Janeiro - Cantagalo Pavão Pavãozinho, Complexo do Alemão, Vila Aliança, Morro do Banco, Santa Cruz and Queimados - with classes football, judo, basketball, artistic gymnastics and volleyball. The project is encouraged by the Federal Sports Incentive Law and has Shell as a sponsor.
