Danilo hails Flamengo v Remo moment: “A sign of our league’s potential” | OneFootball

The 1-0 Atmosphere Against Remo Fired Up Danilo

A packed stadium, roaring fans, and a Flamengo victory. Sunday (06) at Mangueirão, in Belém, Pará, stood out not only because Mengão moved to the top of the Brasileirão. It was also memorable for the show in the stands put on by both the Rubro-Negro supporters and the fans of Remo. This Monday (07), Danilo made a point of praising the atmosphere.

“I’m always used to wonderful scenes at the Maracanã. But I wanted to highlight the celebration Remo’s fans put on at the stadium yesterday. It deserves admiration and should be shown as an example of the spectacle our league has the potential to be. Long live Brazilian football and its different cultures! Obviously, the Nation also showed up in huge numbers!,” Danilo wrote on social media.

Remo’s fans unveiled several mosaics before the team came onto the pitch and backed the side throughout the full 90 minutes. On the other hand, Flamengo’s Nation rose to the occasion and, even though outnumbered, managed to silence the home crowd for long stretches.

There was also a new revenue record, with R$ 6,213,600.00 and a crowd of 46,542 paying fans, the second highest in the stadium’s history since the 2023 renovation. In other words, Flamengo, the cash cow of Brazilian football, ‘saved’ Pará football’s finances for the year.

JARDIM ALSO HANDED OUT PRAISE

Danilo was not the only one full of praise for Remo’s fans at Mangueirão. In short, coach Leonardo Jardim also praised the stadium atmosphere, but he was even more complimentary of Flamengo’s celebration. The Nation put on a show welcoming the team on the eve of the match and also inside the stadium.

— I’ve said it a few times already, I don’t know if at Flamengo, but one of my motivations for coming to the Brazilian Championship was the fans. Sometimes we compare leagues, but in one thing this league is strong: the fans. There is real celebration. And I’m not talking only about Flamengo fans, because today we saw Remo’s supporters put on a spectacular show. In every stadium there is a celebration. I’ve been in many different leagues, but I don’t see anyone as passionate as they are here in Brazil —, said Jardim.

— I worked in Asia, at Al-Hilal, which is also a club with huge support. When we won the Asian Champions League, there were 200,000 people celebrating. In Portugal, at Sporting. In Greece, at Olympiacos. But here the fans come out to welcome the teams, not just Flamengo. Even second-division fans throw huge celebrations. That’s why I say many people debate this league’s place on the world stage, but I’m sure when it comes to supporters, it ranks first —, added the Flamengo coach in a press conference.

AUTHOR’S OPINION

— We need more big-supported clubs in Serie A, like Remo, even their rivals Paysandu, Santa Cruz, and others. With all due respect, but there’s no room for Bragantino, Mirassol, and other small clubs to be in the top division with practically empty stadiums in most matches —, opined Pedro Paulo Catonho, a journalist at Coluna do Fla.
