Midfielder Rodrigo Fabri, a former Flamengo player, spoke on the "Resenha ESPN" program this Friday (15), about an intrigue he had with striker Romário, during his time at the club. The episode took place on a plane, after a friendly match between Rubro-Negro and Internacional, in which the two had already fallen out during the match. On the flight, Romário called Rodrigo, and made demands on the young player at the time.
"I was missing a shell, I was very young. I never imagined going through that. He called me at the back, in the middle of the flight attendants, knocked on the table and he said: "Oh, kid, here's the thing, let's make something very clear here. I'm the one in charge here at Flamengo. The boys came here to ask you to come in, you will come back, but it will have to be like this", revealed Rodrigo.
Rodrigo didn't like the short man's words and decided to retort. According to him, Romário just didn't attack him , as other teammates held the attacker back. "I started to get nervous. I said: "It doesn't have to be like this. It won't be like this. If I come back it will be my way. You don't even have the size of people", said the former midfielder.
" Boy... The short guy came at me. If it hadn't been for Clemer and Fabiano holding him back, I think Cleisson was in the middle too, the whip would have cracked inside the plane. That's what I say, he's very direct. And What was missing when I was 21 at the time? Trickery. I lacked experience. Maybe my meeting, my moment with Romário was at a stage that lacked a little professional maturity for me", added the former athlete.
At Flamengo, Rodrigo was unable to repeat the performances he had at Portuguesa and said goodbye to Rubro-Negro with 35 games and five goals.

O objetivo no Bernabéu é vencer para pressionar o rival catalão na briga pelo título.

The headquarters of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF), in Rio de Janeiro, was the target of a Federal Police operation on Wednesday morning (30). The agents carried out a search and seizure warrant related to Operation Caixa Preta, which investigates alleged electoral crimes committed in Roraima. The president of the entity, Samir Xaud, was one of the targets.
CBF releases statement on the case: "The operation has no relation whatsoever with the CBF or Brazilian football"
Despite the police presence, nothing was seized, according to the CBF itself. The organization also stated, in an official statement, that the director " is not the focus of the investigation " and that the operation has no connection with football or the confederation.
According to the Federal Police, the operation focused primarily on Federal Deputy Helena Lima (MDB-RR), whose deputy is Samir Xaud in the Chamber . She is suspected of involvement in a vote-buying scheme. Ten search and seizure warrants were executed, and R$10 million was frozen in the accounts of those under investigation.
The investigation began during the 2024 municipal elections, when businessman Renildo Lima, the parliamentarian's husband, was arrested with R$500,000 in cash , part of which was hidden in his underwear. According to sources close to Samir Xaud, PF agents remained at the CBF headquarters for about 30 minutes. No material was seized during the operation.
In an official statement, the CBF declared: "The operation has no connection with the CBF or Brazilian football, and president Samir Xaud is not the focus of the investigation. The entity has not received any official information about the subject of the investigation . No equipment or materials were taken by the agents. The president remains calm and at the disposal of the authorities for any clarification."

Two young Brazilians on the rise on the international sports scene have demonstrated mutual admiration : 20-year-old driver Gabriel Bortoleto, in his debut season in Formula 1 with Sauber, and 18-year-old tennis player João Fonseca , who competes on the ATP professional circuit.
Gabriel Bortoleto on João Fonseca: "He is incredible"
In an interview with the official F1 website, Bortoleto was asked what career he would pursue if he weren't a driver. His response was good-natured: "I admire a Brazilian, João Fonseca . He's incredible. He's climbing the ATP rankings, and I think he'll be a future star ."
Despite his admiration for tennis, the Brazilian admitted that his experience in the sport is still limited. "Tennis is fascinating, I love watching it and I like the players' mentality , but I don't play it often. I play a lot of padel, but I need to start playing real tennis."
When asked where he sees himself in five years, Bortoleto was blunt: " I'd like to be world champion ." According to him, being in F1 is already part of that process: "The best drivers in the world are here. I've always wanted to be here precisely to fight against them and, who knows, become the best one day."
A native of São Paulo, the driver began his karting career at the age of six and now rubs shoulders with some of the biggest names in motorsports. He also praised his team principal, Mattia Binotto , and highlighted the importance of idols like Ayrton Senna.
Bortoleto also revealed his closeness with current four-time world champion Max Verstappen. " Max and Ollie Bearman are the two guys I'm closest with in the paddock . I started playing video games with Max, and then we started training together on the simulator, back in the Formula 3 days."
According to the Brazilian, this friendship has evolved, and today the two share time off the track. " We have a group of friends with whom we play simulators . I'm even an ambassador for his team, Team Redline. Since then, we've spent a lot of time together—and it's been a lot of fun."
