Forward Marinho, formerly of Santos and Flamengo, participated in the podcast "Denílson Show", and recalled his time at Rubro Negro. In his presentation in January 2022, the player did not hide his excitement at wearing the Sacred Mantle, as it is his father's favorite team. Now at Fortaleza, Marinho did not hide his satisfaction at having played for the "Biggest club in Brazil", as he himself defined it.
"My father said that, before he left, he wanted to see me in the Flamengo shirt. For more that Marinho couldn't be the guy I expected from me, I managed to win at the club. I managed to be champion, I scored in the Libertadores semi-final. I played in the Copa do Brasil. I participated too", said Marinho, in an interview with the podcast ' Denílson Show'.
"I don't get frustrated with that 'I'm only important if I had played…' thing. I know it contributed to the minutes I was on the field. That's valuable to me. I managed to play at the biggest club in the world. Brazil, I managed to become champion, I scored goals and provided assists. I didn't deliver what I expected, but I won titles and it was what I dreamed of", added Marinho.
PRESSURE FOR GOOD PERFORMANCES
Marinho arrived at Mais Querido with the pressure of having been the "King of America" in 2020, for Santos. In the team from Baixada Santos, the striker stood out for beautiful goals, individual plays and a lot of speed. However, at Flamengo, the success was not the same, and the player spent most of his time on the bench.
“I created expectations for playing for Santos and wanting to take Marinho do Santos to the Flamengo. The expectation was mine. I said: 'I have to be Marinho do Santos'. But cycles end. When I left Santos it was supposed to close, Marinho do Flamengo would have to be someone else. I always scored goals and prepared my play to score the goals. I created very high expectations and I was wrong about that", concluded Marinho.
DIGREEMENT WITH JORGE SAMPAOLI AND CONSEQUENTLY GOODBYE
In May of this year, Marinho had a disagreement with coach Jorge Sampaoli and ended up being removed from the squad. Training alone, the attacker waited for an offer to leave Mais Querido. Therefore, the player went to Fortaleza.
With that, Marinho left Flamengo with 60 games, six goals and nine assists. Furthermore, the player was champion of the Copa do Brasil and Libertadores. The memorable moment he mentioned was precisely in the continental competition, when he scored against Vélez Sarsfield (ARG), in the second leg of the semi-final, at Maracanã.

Flamengo's fans continue to impress world football's biggest names . In 2019, Liverpool defender Virgil Van Dijk came face-to-face with the might of the Red-Black Nation at the FIFA Club World Cup final in Qatar. The atmosphere of that match left a lasting impression on the Dutch defender.
Liverpool's Van Dijk on Flamengo: "Their fans were incredible"
In an interview with TNT Sports, Van Dijk was asked about his knowledge of Brazilian football. The topic arose because striker Memphis Depay , a player for Corinthians and the Dutch national team, frequently talks to the defender about Brazil.
"I know very well the passion Brazilian fans have for their teams. We faced Flamengo in the Club World Cup in Qatar, and their support was incredible . Memphis also spoke to me several times about the Corinthians fans. We know how great Brazilian football is. I'm very proud of Memphis and hope he scores many goals for the national team," said the defender.
After eliminating Al-Hilal in the semifinals, Flamengo faced Liverpool again in a repeat of the 1981 final . However, Jorge Jesus's team failed to break down the English defense and lost in extra time. In the final, Van Dijk experienced one of the greatest moments of his career and was a key player in neutralizing the Flamengo attack. Players like Gabigol struggled against the defender's solidity.
Almost six years after that duel, the Nation is preparing for another big night. Tickets for Flamengo vs Estudiantes, this Thursday (18), at Maracanã, for the first leg of the Libertadores quarterfinals , are already sold out . More than 69 thousand fans will support Filipe Luís' team, which is looking to open up an advantage before the decisive match in La Plata.

Flamengo said goodbye to the Women's Copa do Brasil after losing 1-0 to São Paulo, this Wednesday (17), at Morumbis. The Rio de Janeiro team even tried to react after falling behind on the scoreboard, but was unable to avoid elimination in the single duel of the round of 16. The decisive goal was scored by Duda Serrana, a standout for the São Paulo team.
In the first half, São Paulo dominated possession and adopted a more attacking approach , hindering Flamengo 's play. Flamengo struggled to exchange passes and impose their style. Even so, the visitors had the best chance of the first half: on a quick counterattack in the 30th minute, Duda had a good opportunity but shot wide.
Early in the second half, a poor clearance by the Flamengo defense resulted in the game-clinching goal. The defense poorly cleared the ball, and Duda Serrana fired a precise shot from outside the box, leaving Flamengo's goalkeeper with no chance . From then on, the Rio de Janeiro team pushed forward and sought to press in the final minutes, relying primarily on set pieces and crosses, but failed to create any real chances.
With this result, Flamengo ends its Women's Copa do Brasil campaign with one win and one loss. The team received approximately R$90,000 for its participation in the round of 16. After the final whistle, members of the Flamengo coaching staff complained about the refereeing in the center of the field, but the result remained unchanged.
Flamengo could take to the field with a different formation to face Estudiantes this Thursday (18), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), for the CONMEBOL Libertadores. The duel, decisive for the club's ambitions in the continental competition, will be broadcast live on Disney+.

Flamengo beat Juventude 2-0 last Sunday (14), at Alfredo Jaconi, for the Brazilian Championship, and ended a 28-year winless streak in Caxias do Sul. Arrascaeta opened the scoring and Emerson Royal closed the score, scoring his first goal for the club .
Emerson Royal reveals Filipe Luís's request at Flamengo: "Filipe wants me to be sharp, exploring my physical strength"
After the match, the full-back revealed a conversation with coach Filipe Luís, who advised him on attacking positioning: "I received criticism when I played injured because I couldn't give my best. But I wanted to stay on the field to help Flamengo . Filipe explained to me what he wanted from me: to get to the far post. I even asked my teammates to watch me during that movement," Royal said.
It was the full-back's first game since returning from injury. Royal had sprained his left ankle on August 13 against Internacional in the Copa Libertadores. Since then, he had only played a few minutes in the draw with Grêmio at Maracanã.
According to the player, Filipe Luís asked him to play differently than he was used to in his career: "At Tottenham, I played as a defensive midfielder, on the inside. But Filipe wants me to be sharp, exploiting my physical strength, passing, and crossing. He knows my ability to support, and that can really help the team ."
Signed in July for €9 million (approximately R$58 million) from Milan, Emerson Royal is competing for a spot with Varela, who was rested against Juventude due to a groin injury. " Big teams are like that; they always have top-notch players . Varela has a lot of quality, and so do I. The competition is healthy, we work hard, and the choice is Filipe's," said the full-back.
On Thursday (18), Flamengo faces Estudiantes in the Libertadores (quarter-finals, first leg), at 9:30 pm, at Maracanã . The Most Beloved only returns to the field for the Brasileirão on Sunday (21), against Vasco, also at the sacred temple.
