Last Wednesday (11), Flamengo fans held another AeroFla before the team boarded for the Club World Cup. Thus, former player of Mais Querido, João Gomes, recalled the mobilization of the Nation in 2021, before the Libertadores final, and recalled the 'invasion' of the team bus.


FAN 'INVASION' ON FLAMENGO BUS


The Nação Rubro-Negra held a huge AeroFla party before the Flamengo delegation boarded for the 2021 Libertadores final . During the party at Galeão Airport, a fan managed to get on the bus, opened the roof hatch and even exchanged a few words with some players, including João Gomes.




Did you know that this guy lives in the same favela as me, charged me for the shirt I promised him and even went to Maracanã with me on the day of the North sector?”, said João Gomes, through social media.

FLAMENGO IN THE CLUB WORLD CUP

Flamengo's Super World Cup debut is scheduled for the 16th, against Esperánce (TUN), at 10 pm (Brasília time), at Lincoln Financial Field. On the 20th, Rubro-Negro will face Chelsea at the same stadium. Finally, on the 24th, Mengo will face Los Angeles FC.

FLAMENGO COULD FACE A GIANT IN THE ROUND OF 16

If Flamengo advances to the next stage of the Club World Cup, they already know who they will face in the round of 16. This is because the Mais Querido's opponent will come from Group C, which has Bayern Munich (GER) and Benfica (POR) as the main candidates for first and second place.
