Have you ever wondered why São Judas Tadeu is the patron saint of Flamengo? The history of this unusual partnership between the saint and the Rio club dates back to the 1950s, when the team was going through a nine-year drought without titles. It was a period of agony for the red and black fans, until an unexpected event changed the course of things.

At that time, Father Góes, known for his devotion to São Judas Tadeu, was invited to celebrate a mass in Gávea, the heart of Flamengo. The atmosphere was tense, with the team struggling to regain their lost glory. The priest, upon noticing the dejection of the fans and the players, had an inspired idea.


During the mass, he made a peculiar request to the players: that they light a candle in honor of Saint Jude Thaddeus. He promised that if they did this, Flamengo would become champions again. Some may have viewed the proposal with skepticism, but in a moment of desperation, many players accepted the challenge. Little did they know that they were about to witness the beginning of a series of remarkable achievements.


In 1953, Flamengo surprised everyone and became state champions. The 1954 and 1955 titles followed, making the club three-time champions. The story of Father Góes' request and devotion to São Judas Tadeu soon spread, and the episode generated controversy with Fluminense's rivals. However, the faith of Flamengo fans and the apparently divine interventions of the club's patron saint continued to bear fruit.

As time went by, São Judas Tadeu became one of the most popular saints in Rio de Janeiro, especially among Flamengo fans. His image began to be seen not only in churches, but also in fans' homes, in stadiums and at various sporting events related to the club.

Devotion to São Judas Tadeu is not limited to the era of conquests . Every year, the club holds a mass in Gávea in honor of its patron saint. This tradition has become an important event for Flamengo fans, who come together to demonstrate their devotion to the saint and give thanks for the victories achieved.


What began as a gesture of faith in a time of difficulty became in a fundamental part of Flamengo's identity. The story of São Judas Tadeu and his relationship with the club serves as a reminder of how faith and devotion can play a surprising role in different aspects of life, including sport. Belief in divine intervention and the power of faith continue to inspire Flamengo fans and strengthen their connection with the club.

Flamengo will face Grêmio in Porto Alegre, but an important absence has already been confirmed: Gabigol, one of the team's main attackers, will not travel with the red-black delegation. The player will remain in Rio de Janeiro, where he will focus on improving his physical form. The decision not to take the striker to the capital of Rio Grande do Sul aims to ensure that he has enough time to dedicate himself to physical preparation at Ninho do Urubu, the club's training center. Although there is no confirmed injury, Flamengo appears to be taking precautions to avoid wear and tear that could compromise the remainder of the season.

This choice may surprise some fans, as Gabigol is one of the team's key players and, generally, an undisputed starter in decisive matches. The absence of Gabriel Barbosa, known as Gabigol, raises questions about how Flamengo should arm the team offensively for the clash. Despite Gabigol's absence, Flamengo has alternatives in attack, with players like Pedro and Bruno Henrique, who can take the lead. The expectation is that the coach will use these options to compensate for the striker's absence.


THE CLUB HAS ANOTHER LOSS 

The decision to spare Gabigol may be related to the club's long-term planning. Flamengo faces a marathon of important games, and the physical recovery of its athletes becomes essential to maintain performance in simultaneous competitions. According to information released by Mauro Cezar, Gabigol is focused on improving his physical side. This could mean that the player has been feeling the wear and tear accumulated throughout the season.

Flamengo has adopted a strategy of preserving some of its main players at certain times, aiming to avoid injuries that could sideline them for long periods of time. periods. This preventive measure is common in clubs that compete in several competitions and have a tight schedule. With this, the idea is that the athlete returns in better condition, ready to perform at a higher level in the next matches.

Forward Michael, from Flamengo, took an important step towards his return to the field this Friday (20). The player, who was away from activities due to an injury, participated in activities on the field, signaling an accelerated evolution in his recovery process. Although the initial deadline for his return was two months, the athlete's performance exceeded medical and technical expectations, opening up the possibility of an earlier-than-expected return.

Michael was injured a few weeks ago, in a situation that worried the medical department and Flamengo's technical committee. The injury, which would initially require more extensive treatment, led to the expectation of a prolonged absence. The deadline initially given by the doctors was two months, a period considered reasonable for the player to fully recover and be able to return to his normal activities at the club without the risk of a relapse.

A RETURN BEFORE TIME < /b>

However, over the last few weeks, the player has shown impressive progress, which has generated optimism among Flamengo members. This Friday, Michael held his first training session on the field since his injury, an important milestone in the rehabilitation process. This activity is an indication that the player may be able to return to the starting lineup soon, if there are no new setbacks in his treatment.

The medical department of Flamengo remains cautious, but does not hide its optimism with the attacker's progress. The better-than-expected recovery, both in terms of time and performance, is seen as a positive sign for the club, which is counting on the player at a crucial moment of the season. With several important commitments in sight, Michael's presence would be a valuable reinforcement for the red and black team, which seeks to remain competitive both in the Brazilian Championship and in international competitions.

The long-awaited moment has arrived for Flamengo's immense fans. On October 28th, 'Flamenguista Day' is celebrated, a traditional event that occupies a prominent place in the hearts of all red and black people. It's a date that goes beyond the club feeling; It is a day of reverence, of unity, of remembering why Flamengo is much more than a football club. On social media, fans come together to share their passions, memories and declarations of eternal love for the Sacred Mantle.

The 28th of October is chosen to celebrate 'Flamenguista Day' in conjunction with the of São Judas Tadeu, the patron saint of Rubro-Negro. The connection between the club and the saint is deep and full of symbolism for the red-and-black nation. On Flamengo's official social networks, the tribute to the fans could not go unnoticed: "It's my greatest pleasure to have you by my side. Flamengo fan. Every day is a day. Thank you! Greater love has no equal. And it really doesn't. Yours , mine, ours", says the publication, full of gratitude.


It is important to highlight that 'Flamenguista Day' was officially recognized in the calendar of the state of Rio de Janeiro in 2007, thanks to a decree proposed by councilor Jorge Mauro and approved by then mayor César Maia. Since then, it has become a tradition for the club to celebrate this special date. One of the ways to celebrate is through a mass held in the chapel of São Judas Tadeu, which is located at Flamengo's headquarters, reinforcing the ties between religious devotion and sporting fervor.


In addition to the exciting message of thanks to the fans, the official profile of the red-black team also dedicated a special post in honor of the club's patron saint: "Today is Saint Judas Tadeu's Day, our patron saint! The saint of impossible causes! Saint Judas Tadeu, pray for us". The link between the club and religious devotion is one of the pillars that sustain the strength and passion of Flamengo fans.

However, this year's 'Flamenguista Day' is marked by a peculiarity. Flamengo, which originally had an appointment on the field this Saturday (28), facing Red Bull Bragantino in the 30th round of the Brazilian Championship, had its match postponed by the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF). The reason is noble and significant: Maracanã is handed over to the South American Football Confederation (Conmebol) for the final of the Copa Libertadores da América, which pits Boca Juniors (ARG) and Fluminense face to face. Thus, the celebration of 'Flamenguista Day' gains even more importance, as a day of reflection, unity and recognition of the club's greatness, even without the ball rolling on the pitch.
