Flamengo hero Bruno Henrique goes wild over Série D result

Bruno Henrique celebrated Uberlândia’s fourth-division title

The weekend was more than special for Bruno Henrique. On Sunday (13), while he was shining at the Maracanã in the 2-1 win over Corinthians, the team that introduced Flamengo’s idol to football, Uberlândia-MG, was winning the Brazilian Série D Championship. Gávea’s number 27 celebrated the achievement.

“Congratulations, Uberlândia, on the promotion and the Brazilian Série D title. You deserve all of this and much more. I’m grateful to have started my career at this club,” the forward posted on his Instagram profile, minutes after the victory over Corinthians.

SO, HOW DID THE FINAL GO?

After winning 2-0 in Alagoas against ASA de Arapiraca, Uberlândia held on for a 0-0 draw at Parque do Sabiá Stadium, in Minas Gerais. In addition to earning promotion to Brasileirão Série C, the team that launched Bruno Henrique also secured a place in the third round of the 2027 Copa do Brasil with the title.

BRUNO HENRIQUE AT UBERLÂNDIA

After standing out on the amateur pitches of Belo Horizonte, Bruno Henrique caught Uberlândia’s attention in 2012. However, his impact on the team was immediate, with five goals in eight matches, drawing interest from Cruzeiro. It was precisely at the venue of Sunday’s title (13), Parque do Sabiá, that the red-and-black idol scored the first professional goal of his career.

On September 29, 2012, against Nacional de Minas Gerais, Bruno Henrique found the net in the Taça Minas Gerais. After Uberlândia and Cruzeiro, BH moved on to Itumbiara-GO. There, he caught Goiás’ attention, where the idol broke through onto the world football stage. From the Center-West, the forward went on to Wolfsburg (GER), Santos and, in 2019, signed with Flamengo. And the rest is history…

AUTHOR’S OPINION, IN SHORT

— It was really great to see Bruno Henrique remember where he came from. At a time when he was the most talked-about name in Brazilian football, with his Instagram buzzing, just moments after the game against Corinthians, he still “took the time” to remember Uberlândia. It only shows how huge number 27 is — began Pedro Paulo Catonho, journalist for Coluna do Fla. — Who knows, maybe in a few years Flamengo could play a farewell match for Bruno Henrique against Uberlândia at Parque do Sabiá? Uberlândia is 100% red-and-black territory, and it would be a beautiful celebration. Best of luck to the Minas Gerais team in Série C 2027 — concluded Pedro.
