In addition, Landim, who is close to the radio presenter's family, stated that he already knew about the complications in Apolinho's health. deceased. However, he commented on the difficulties of dealing with the loss of such a symbolic figure in Flamengo's history.

He was a genius, who created many famous slang words that are still used today. A fanatical fan of the club, every Rubro-Negro loved him, but not just the Rubro-Negros, but anyone who likes football in general”, he concluded.
