ZICO MAKES A SPECIAL REQUEST TO THE FLAMENGO BOARD: "A GREAT NAME"

A former Flamengo target in the primeira window of the year, is almost certainly a rival from Rio. This is because Botafogo overcame previous difficulties with Udinese and is still in the process of signing Matheus Martins, a 21-year-old striker. The operation will cost 10 million euros (R$ 60 million), with a further 2 million euros in bonuses, for 90% of the attacker's economic rights.

Only the athlete's signature separates the negotiation from being assured officially, but both parties already consider the operation as done.

Flamengo even negotiated with the striker, while he was on vacation in Rio de Janeiro. Some meetings took place, but there was no agreement with the Europeans. Another point was that at the time of the red-black attack, the player had the desire to continue in Europe.

So far, the rubro-negro< /a> has not signed any players since the start of the transfer window. The attempts with midfielder Marcos Antônio were unsuccessful and the Rio club ended up taking a beating from São Paulo, which signed the player. So far, the only name in which Flamengo is negotiating is with midfielder Claudinho, from Zenit, in Russia. Despite the Russians' tough game, everything is fine between the player and Flamengo.

Last Wednesday (24), striker Carlinhos secured three points for Flamengo over Vitória. Due to his way of celebrating, the player received the nickname "Bellingham da Gávea" from the red-black fans. Thus, the athlete commented on the joke.

"For me: Ronaldo, Romário and Adriano, I'm a big fan of them and I always try to imitate them. I know there's a lot missing. And I like the fans because they're creative: “it's Adriano Imperador's Avatar”, “Bellingham da Gávea”… That's cool. Here, for the guys, I'm the “thunder” because a partner of mine said: “Can I make a stop at your boot”? forget it", he said, in an interview with FlaTV.

In addition to commenting on the fans' joke, Carlinhos also spoke about the meaning of the way he celebrates goals as a Flamengo player.

"I came from an evangelical family, and at home there were a lot of evangelical films. Even though my name is Carlos Moisés, I always liked the opposite side, which is Pharaoh Ramses . My mother would scold me, I would put my hand on my waist (laughs)", he said, before finishing:

"When I grew up, I always did this to her: “Mom, Ramses has arrived”. In this review I told my brothers that this was going to be the celebration. My posture was stupid, but it was more to provoke my mother. This position he takes is one of authority, a bit harshly, I identified with the celebration", he concluded.

So, with Carlinhos at his disposal, Flamengo started preparation for the clash against Atlético-GO this Friday afternoon (26). The game will be on Sunday (28), valid for the 20th round of the Brasileirão, at 4pm.

The Paris Olympic Games are about to begin. However, many Brazilians in the city are going through desperate situations. This is because there are many thefts in apartments located around the places where the competitions will take place and a Flamengo idol was the victim this time: Zico, who had his suitcase stolen this Thursday (25).

According to information from G1, Zico had his suitcase stolen at the entrance of the hotel where he is staying in Paris, this Thursday (25). The items subtracted total around 200 thousand euros (R$ 1.2 million at current prices).

Galho is in the French capital as an ambassador for Team Brazil at the Olympics. Information about the robbery was published by the newspaper Le Parisién, which stated that among the items stolen were a Rolex watch, a diamond-studded piece of jewelry and euro and dollar bills.

Zico was in front to the hotel where he will stay, in the 19th district of Paris, with his wife Sandra Carvalho de Sá, getting out of a transport company car. There is a suspicion that the thieves acted in pairs, while one distracted the couple and the driver, the other opened the car and took Galinho's belongings.

The The Olympics will begin this Saturday (27). However, the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games will be held this Friday (26), in Paris, on the banks of the River Seine.
