A Legacy! Noval maintains his father's history for Flamengo
The club takes its legacy seriously
|
0
Carlos Noval, one of the main figures in the management of Flamengo's youth categories, reached an important milestone last Saturday by winning the World Cup in the category, after a thrilling 2-1 victory against Olympiacos. This triumph, in addition to being a significant achievement for the club, carries a deep emotional weight for Noval, who has a historical connection with Flamengo.
Carlos Noval began his career at Flamengo in 2010, taking on the responsibility of leading the club base. His contribution was crucial to the development of talents that today shine on the national and international scene. However, winning the World Cup last Saturday represents the highlight of his career as a youth manager, crowning years of dedication to the club.
The victory against Olympiacos was decided in the final minutes, which brought a mixture of euphoria and nostalgia surfaced for Noval. This feeling is especially significant because it is not the first time that the Noval family has participated in a world victory for Flamengo. In 1981, Renato Noval, Carlos' father, was part of the board that led Flamengo to its first world title, after the iconic 3-0 victory over Liverpool, a feat that became legendary in the club's history.
A LEGACY FOR LIFE
Carlos Noval's relationship with Flamengo is, therefore, a matter of family legacy. Returning to the role of base manager in February, after having held the position between 2010 and 2018, Noval did not hide his excitement at repeating the world achievement that his father celebrated more than four decades ago. For him, this victory is more than a trophy; it is a deep connection with his personal and family history within the club.
In his words after the victory, Noval expressed an emotion that is difficult to describe. He fondly remembered his father, who passed away, and highlighted the importance of having lived this special moment with him in 1981. For Noval, repeating this feat with Flamengo's youth team was a privilege, something he describes as "surreal" and at the same time which is deeply grateful to the club and to God.

Flamengo returns to the field this Saturday (10), at 9 pm (Brasília time), to face Bahia at Maracanã, for the 8th round of the Brazilian Championship. After the 2-1 defeat to Cruzeiro away from home, the team led by Filipe Luis tries to get back to winning ways and stay among the top of the table.
REUNION WITH AN OLD FRIEND
On the other side, Rogério Ceni's Bahia arrives buoyed by the 1-0 victory over Botafogo, in Salvador, and with a special ingredient: the reunion with Everton Ribeiro, former captain of the red-black team, who commands the tricolor midfield and returns to Maracanã in a respectful atmosphere, but with the focus on the three points.
RECENT OVERVIEW
The last clash between the teams took place at Fonte Nova, still in this Brasileirão. On that occasion, Flamengo won 2-0 with goals from Ayrton Lucas and Carlos Alcaraz, the latter of whom has already been sold. The match marked the beginning of a new cycle under the command of Filipe Luís, then interim, before Filipe's permanent arrival.
To avoid surprises, Flamengo needs to keep an eye on at least five names that have been standing out on the Bahia side. Starting with midfielder Erick, who despite playing more defensively, is the team's top scorer this season with seven goals. Another name that draws attention is forward Luciano Rodríguez, responsible for six goals in 2025 and considered one of Bahia's big bets. The Uruguayan is the team's second-highest scorer and one of Ceni's offensive references.
On the left side, the versatile Luciano Juba has been making a difference. Despite being a striker by origin, he has been playing as a full-back and is leading Bahia in offensive participations in the Brasileirão. According to the SofaScore app, he has an average rating of 7.50 and has scored one goal and provided three assists in Série A. Another youngster who has made a good impression is Erick Pulga , another striker for the team from the northeast. With one goal, one assist and an average rating of 7.33, he is one of the pleasant surprises at the start of the championship and could appear as an option for Ceni, either as a starter or in the second half.

Singer Preta Gil has already set a date to travel to the United States. She will travel next week to resume her cancer treatment at a hospital abroad. On social media, she shared a message after being discharged from the hospital in São Paulo and talked about the long-awaited trip.
“ I spent the last week hospitalized at the Sírio-Libanês Hospital under the care of my beloved medical team!!!! I am now home and always surrounded by my loved ones!!!! I continue to strengthen myself here for next week when I begin a new stage of my treatment in the United States,” she said.
In the comments of her post, several celebrities showed their support through loving messages. “What wonderful news, it makes me immensely happy,” said Gaby Amarantos. “It will be nothing but a blessing, sister,” commented Amora Mautner. “Surrounded by love and faith,” commented Flora Gil. “May God bless you and heal you completely wherever you are,” said Isadora Ribeiro.
Why is Preta Gil going to the United States for treatment?
Singer Preta Gil revealed that she will undergo treatment in the United States because she has already done everything she could in Brazil. She has been fighting cancer for a long time, which started in her intestines and spread to other areas of her abdomen. Therefore, she wants to try all alternatives in search of a cure and there is a chance in a treatment that is done abroad.
During her appearance on Domingão com Huck, on Globo, a short while ago, Preta spoke about the complexity of her case. "Now I'm entering a difficult and complicated phase. Here in Brazil we've already done everything we could. Now my chances of being cured are abroad. And that's where I'm going to come back cured," she said.
And she added: "I have a lot to do in this life. I refuse to accept that it's over for me now. I still have a long way to go," she said, and added: "I'm going [abroad] because I have a lot of love for life. I know that we have to learn to deal with finitude. I have a lot of faith in my orishas and my little saints, faith in life, faith in the master.
What type of cancer does Preta Gil have?
Preta Gil's original tumor was rectal cancer, which was removed in surgery after chemotherapy treatment. The disease returned in the second half of 2024, when 6 new foci were identified in the peritoneum and lymphatic system, and removed in a 21-hour surgery that took place in December 2024.
