RJ’S HEGEMONY CONTINUES RUBRO-BLACK

This little story that the state championships are useless, for Flamengo it served to start the year on the right foot and forget the past

I'm going to start this text by saying that this story that Flamengo in 2024 is part two of 2023 is definitely over. If last season the fans were just in the “cheirinho” (an expression used by rivals) this season, the expression that represents Flamengo’s moment is “You will have to swallow me” by our late Zagallo.

Tite-era Flamengo started the season competing, winning, convincing, winning titles and breaking its own records. In an almost perfect campaign, Tite won his first title with Flamengo.

And if on the field the red and black team had the best defense and artillery of the championship, in the stands it surpassed the record; Flamengo and Nova Iguaçu recorded the biggest audience for Brazilian football in 2024; there were 60.4 thousand paying people to watch the second game of the final for the Campeonato Carioca at Maracanã, surpassing the audience of 60.2 thousand for Flamengo and Madureira also for Carioca.

Is the party over? They said! Yes, the party has just begun! With winning the title over Nova Iguaçu, Clube de Regatas do Flamengo is 38 times isolated Rio champion. The hegemony remains red and black and this little story that the state championships are useless, for Flamengo it served to start the year on the right foot, forget the past, pile up another title and start the next championships more confident.
