Defender Vitão had his first experience of winning a title wearing the Flamengo jersey. Last Sunday (08), the defender became the Carioca champion with Mengão against Fluminense. After the classic, the player did not hide his happiness at experiencing this moment with the Rubro-Negro.
“It’s an indescribable feeling to win at Maracanã, with this wonderful crowd by my side, with my family… There was no better way to end the day,” said Vitão in an interview still on the Maracanã pitch last Sunday (08).
It’s important to note that Vitão arrived at Flamengo at the start of this season and, as a result, experienced the bitter feeling of losing the Supercopa do Brasil and Recopa Sul-Americana titles. However, in the Carioca, the defender was able to feel the happiness of winning with the Sacred Mantle.
Vitão was the first signing announced by Flamengo for the 2026 season. So far, the defender has played in six matches, all of them in the Carioca, and has recorded one assist. At the moment, the player is competing for a starting spot in Mengão’s defense, alongside competitors such as Danilo, Léo Pereira, and Léo Ortiz.
With Vitão available, Flamengo faces Cruzeiro in the fifth round of the Brasileirão. In short, the match kicks off at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) this Wednesday (11), at Maracanã. As usual, Coluna do Fla TV will cover the match details on YouTube, as well as on their website and social media. Finally, Globo (open channel), Premiere (pay-per-view), and GETV (YouTube) will broadcast the match.
