The emotional memory of the red-and-black fan is rekindled every time the year 2019 comes up. And this time, the one who helped rekindle the feeling was Gerson. The Flamengo midfielder participated in an interview with Romário , on the former player's channel, and fondly recalled the Libertadores win against River Plate, in Lima.
Gerson on Flamengo's 2019 title: "I'll never forget that day"
The interview had a light tone, like a review between stars from different generations, but it was also a space for reflection. Gerson highlighted the role of Jorge Jesus in that campaign, praised the unity of the team and mentioned the impact that the victory had on his career, even opening doors to Europe.
The video was published this Wednesday (4) and quickly gained attention among fans. With his simple and direct style, Gerson narrated how he experienced that magical moment on the field from Gabigol's equalizing goal until the final whistle that confirmed the historic comeback. “That was when everything changed for me. We knew we could do it, that we could turn it around. And when Gabigol scored the second goal, it was like Maracanã was inside us. I will never forget that day,” said the number 8, visibly moved.
Alongside the video's repercussion, another important name from that team entered the conversation: Diego Ribas. The former number 10 and captain of the champion team did not hold back on praising Gerson. On his social media, Diego highlighted that he always saw in the midfielder a natural leader, someone who could, without exaggeration, wear the armband.
The statement reinforces the affection that the champion squad has for each other. Even though they have different paths today, the emotional connection remains strong on and off the field. Gerson, who returned to Flamengo in 2023 after a stint at Olympique de Marseille, is experiencing a new moment at the club, but with the same identification with the fans.

Flamengo released this Sunday morning (31) the list of players related to the duel against Grêmio , valid for the 22nd round of the Brasileirão. The main absence is midfielder Jorginho , who had been in doubt throughout the week after feeling muscle discomfort.
Despite participating in a separate training session on Saturday, the player felt pain again during Sunday morning's training session and was rested by the coaching staff. See the list of players involved in the Brazilian Championship match.
In addition to Jorginho, Flamengo will also be without Alex Sandro, who is recovering from an injury . At left back, Filipe Luís will have Ayrton Lucas and Matías Viña, both available for the match. Juninho, however, remains out of the club's plans and was not included in the list. The board is working to determine new destinations for the players.
The undisputed leader of the competition, Rubro-Negro, has 46 points from 20 games. Cruzeiro is right behind with 44, but has already played two games. Thus, Palmeiras, with 42 points and a game in hand, emerges as the main contender in the battle for the top spot . Immediately after the match at Maracanã, the São Paulo team faces Corinthians at Neo Química Arena, in a classic that could shake up the top of the table.
Flamengo and Grêmio face each other this Sunday (31), at 4 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã. While Mais Querido fights to extend its lead at the top , the team from Rio Grande do Sul, in 14th place, seeks to move away from the relegation zone.

Flamengo returns to the field this Sunday (31) to face Grêmio, in a match valid for the 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship. The ball rolls at 4 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, with broadcast by Rede Globo , on open TV, and Premiere, on pay-per-view.
In midfield, Jorginho 's condition is a concern. The defensive midfielder is experiencing muscle discomfort and did not participate in training with the group during the week . He continues to perform specific activities at Ninho do Urubu and will be re-evaluated this Saturday, in the final training session led by Filipe Luís before the match.
Since his Club World Cup debut, Jorginho has established himself as a key player in the red-and-black squad. If he isn't cleared by the medical department, Allan and Evertton Araújo are potential options, while De La Cruz is considered an outsider. Pulgar remains out of the plans due to surgery on his right foot.
With the confirmed absences and the doubt over Jorginho, coach Filipe Luís should send the following team to the field at Flamengo : Rossi; Varela, Léo Ortiz (Danilo), Léo Pereira and Ayrton Lucas; Allan (Jorginho), Saúl and Arrascaeta; Plata, Samuel Lino and Pedro.
Rubro-Negro heads into the 22nd round as the sole leader of the Brasileirão, with 46 points, two ahead of second-place Cruzeiro, who still have a game in hand . After the match against Grêmio, the competition will be suspended for 13 days due to the FIFA International Day.
