Former player Romário , who shone at Flamengo after leaving Barcelona in 1995, was surprised live on GE TV while commenting on historic quotes from his career . During Fred's segment, Romário sought to contextualize a moment in which he had been misinterpreted.
The striker explained that, in an interview about the Carioca final between Flamengo and Botafogo, he didn't finish the sentence: "I want to clarify this. Flamengo vs. Botafogo, Carioca final, I had scored three goals and Flamengo won the Guanabara Cup," he said before finishing.
Romário explains controversial phrase in Flamengo game: "There is only one God"
"It was Flamengo 's centenary and I had just come back from Barcelona. The guys asked me, 'So, what do you have to say?' It's like this, here in Rio de Janeiro, there are lots of kings. But there's only one God. When I said there's only one God, they grabbed me and took me away. But the end of the sentence was this: 'There's only one God, who is up there, and I'm the one who has the most faith in him. That's why things happen to me.' I couldn't say the end of the sentence, because the guy carried me," concluded the 'Shorty'.
The situation became even more uncomfortable when GE TV itself aired the original video of the interview, showing Romário finishing the sentence differently, saying: " Kings have two, three, four, five. But God, now he knows who he is . He's Romário, I'm God, they know that, they have to respect me ."
The former striker was speechless, frowning and remaining silent, while Fred appeared embarrassed as he commented on the moment live: "Well, there you go..." The scene generated immediate repercussion among fans and internet users, who shared the video on social media.
Romário's memory encompasses a defining period in his career and that of Flamengo, including the club's centennial and the Guanabara Cup victory. Despite the tense atmosphere on air, the episode reinforces the charisma and unique personality of the former player , who always marked his time at the Mais Querido with goals, controversies, and memorable statements.
Information indicated a possible review of the contract with the sponsor, but the club made a point of putting a damper on the matter.

CHECK THE NOTE
"Clube de Regatas do Flamengo clarifies that the information published yesterday in Lauro Jardim's column in the newspaper O Globo, regarding alleged negotiations with Adidas to review contract values, is not true . We regret that, once again, the columnist has made a baseless statement.
Flamengo reinforces that all its commercial relationships are conducted with transparency and responsibility , and reiterates that any relevant updates will always be communicated officially through our institutional channels.”
According to the O Globo columnist, after the contract signed with Betano, Flamengo understood that there was a need to review the amounts to be paid in the agreement between Adidas and the club to adjust to the new financial reality of Mengão , which now has the largest master sponsorship contract in the country again.
In 2024, Flamengo and Adidas renewed the sponsorship contract, which has been in place since 2013, until the end of 2029 and could bring in around R$70 million reais per year to Mais Querido , paid in three installments of minimum guarantees, in addition to bonuses in the event of titles, which could make the value reach R$90 million.

Botafogo-PB has begun restructuring its squad with an eye on the 2026 season. Out of the final phase of this year's Série C, the club announced a list of departures, and among the names is striker Henrique Dourado , formerly of Flamengo.
In an official statement last Monday (08), the club confirmed the departure of 13 players . In addition, it reported that midfielders Igor Maduro and Thallyson were loaned to Volta Redonda until the end of this season.
The striker played in two matches against Flamengo in the Copa do Brasil, in the third stage of the competition. The Rubro-Negro won both duels: 1-0 in the first leg and 4-2 in the return, scoring Belo's second goal , securing a spot in the quarterfinals.
Henrique Dourado arrived at Flamengo in 2018, after being the top scorer in the 2017 Brasileirão with Fluminense . His initial contract ran until 2021, but in 2019 he was sold to Henan Jianye, from China, in a deal worth approximately R$22 million.
While Dourado is free on the market, Flamengo remains firm in the season. The next commitment will be on Sunday (14), against Juventude, for the 23rd round of the Brasileirão . The match will be at Alfredo Jaconi, in Caxias do Sul, at 4 pm (Brasília time) and will be broadcast on Amazon Prime.
