An outcry is echoing among Flamengo, and it focuses on a simple idea, but full of meaning: the retirement of the 16 and 4 shirts, in honor of the idols Olivinha and Marcelinho Machado, respectively. The request appears as a form of recognition and gratitude for the years of dedication and achievements of these athletes with the red-black sacred mantle.
Olivinha, known for his determination on the court and his tactical importance, is considered one of the most emblematic players in Flamengo's recent history. His career at the club was marked by titles and memorable moments, earning the admiration not only of fans, but also of his teammates and opponents. His number 16 shirt has become a symbol of determination and excellence, and many believe that it should be removed from circulation as a way of immortalizing his contribution to the club.
In the same way, Marcelinho Machado is a figure iconic in Brazilian basketball and, especially, in Flamengo. With a career full of achievements, he left an indelible mark on the history of national sport. His unmatched skill on the court and his inspiring leadership made him not only a great player, but also an example to be followed on and off the pitch. The number 4 shirt, worn by Marcelinho during so many years of success, would be a natural choice to be retired in his honor.
A MORE THAN FAIR IDEA TO OLIVINHA THE "GOD OF THE RACE" < /p>
The idea of retiring shirts is not new in the world of sport. In several leagues around the globe, teams choose to retire numbers in honor of players who left an unparalleled legacy on their respective teams. This practice not only recognizes the individual contributions of athletes, but also serves as a constant reminder of the club's history and tradition.
However, the decision to retire a shirt goes beyond the simple symbolic gesture< /a>. It involves practical considerations such as the availability of numbers for new players and the club's tradition regarding the numbering of its teams. Furthermore, it is necessary to ensure that the tribute is paid in a fair and respectful manner, taking into account not only the performance on the field, but also the player's impact on the community and the club's culture.
Mengão wants to broadcast the tournament to its fans on YouTube, but there is still no official decision with the organizing entity.
