FLAMENGO HAS 3 PLAYERS CALLED UP TO THE BRAZILIAN SELECTION

Reading is the basis for learning, expanding vocabulary, improving textual understanding and stimulating critical and analytical skills . To work on this issue, the project "Come read, come read, come read!", created by the Social Responsibility and Education departments of the Flamengo Museum, was created, whose purpose is to visit community libraries and cultural facilities in peripheral areas, with storytelling activities of stories, quizzes and book donations for children and teenagers. The objective is to awaken a love of reading, enable greater contact between children and books, as well as contribute to the transformation of community libraries into spaces for culture, learning and leisure.

So, this Friday (19), the project “Come read, come read, come read!” was present at the Wagner Vinício Community Library, in Rio das Pedras, West Zone of Rio de Janeiro, created by community residents who wanted a place where their children could spend their time while they were not at school. The library's objective is to encourage reading in the Rio das Pedras community, being the only cultural space focused on literature in the locality. The action brought together around 30 children and young people between the ages of 8 and 13.

“The kids had very high expectations, mainly because it was a Flamengo project. It was really cool to receive the "Vem Ler" project, as most of the children are Flamengo fans. It is always very beneficial to host external activities so that children can have new experiences and the activity you carried out completed the work we have already done in the library, mainly on the importance of concentration, group work and using creativity in order to overcome challenges. weaknesses: shyness, concentration, etc. It was amazing to welcome you! The kids loved it and so did we”, said Simone Araújo, mediator at the Wagner Vinício community library.

In the action, the children and young people present received Flamengo books, backpacks and cups.

For the next few months, the project "Come read, come read, come read!" will be present in other community libraries in the city.

At the moment, three candidates for Flamengo's presidency are known to the fans: Luiz Eduardo Baptista, Rodrigo Dunshee and Maurício Gomes de Mattos. However, a fourth way is to come, from the group Fla Tradição e Juventude, led by Leonardo Ribeiro, "Capitão Léo", who had problems with Mais Querido's idol, Zico, in 2010.

“The agenda is the following: launch of a candidacy in defense of the co-owner to defend Flamengo's traditions. A true independent candidacy. Because what we are seeing there are three different candidates,” said Léo, on social media.

The group is scheduling a meeting next Thursday (1) to define who the candidate will be. Leader of the Fla Tradição e Juventude group, Captain Léo is not a member. In other words, he will not be able to run for president of Mais Querido. The former leader of Torcida Jovem Fla was expelled from membership after days of suspensions in less than a year. In one of the cases, he was involved in a fight with Luiz Eduardo Baptista, a candidate for the position of president.

In 2010, Leonardo Ribeiro stated that the contract signed between Flamengo and Centro de Futebol Zico would be harmful to the club's interests. This is because, according to him, players who were from CFZ started to reach the Rubro-Negro youth categories, gaining more space than those who were already there. 

Thus, due to the accusation, Zico filed a lawsuit against Leonardo. After the red-black idol's attitude, the former partner retreated and said he was misunderstood. In 2010, Galinho was football director at Mais Querido.

Investing more and more in Olympic sports, Flamengo agreed to hire Argentine center Tayavek Gallizzi for the basketball team. The information was given by the profile Garrafão Rubro-Negro. Gallizzi has stood out in the Argentine League in recent seasons and is a fixture in his country's national team. The length of the contract was not revealed.

Born in Santa Fé, the pivot is 31 years old and was at Quilmes, in Argentina. The athlete is 2.06m tall and was also part of Argentina's campaign at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics. Gallizzi is a revelation from the Unión Progresista base and was a silver medalist at the Copa América in 2015. However, he won the gold at the Pan American Games in Lima, in 2019, in Peru.

In addition to Tayavek Gallizzi, Flamengo is also close to signing an American winger: Shaq Johnson, who played in the Minas in Brazilian basketball. Rubro-Negro is experiencing its first season without its idol Olivinha. The former pivot retired from the courts in June and received a beautiful tribute from Fla.

Goodbye de Olivinha was not what Flamengo fans expected. Rubro-Negro lost the series to Franca 3-1 and finished second in last season's NBB. However, nothing can erase the shine that Olivinha brought to the history of Flabasquete. Among the main achievements are: two Intercontinental Cups (2014 and 2022), one Champions League Americas (2020-21), one League of the Americas (2014) and six Brazilian Championships (2012-13, 2013-14, 2014-15, 2015 -16, 2018-19 and 2020-21).
