Flamengo reference Ronaldinho Gaúcho meme in ticket drive for delayed Mirassol match | OneFootball

Flamengo have launched a ticket campaign on social media for Wednesday’s rescheduled meeting with Mirassol at the Maracanã, leaning on humour by reviving a famed Ronaldinho Gaúcho meme.

The club said in a post that tickets start at R$ 50 and that the Setor Norte is close to selling out, urging fans to pack the stands in the season run-in.

The phrase dates back to 2011 and is tied to Ronaldinho Gaúcho, becoming shorthand for sides that grow dangerous when given room. Flamengo have revived it to needle rivals as the finishing straight approaches.

The Mirassol fixture is a game in hand from round four, postponed after Flamengo contested the Recopa Sudamericana against Lanús on the original date. Conmebol then reshuffled the calendar.

Once the backlog is cleared, Flamengo and Palmeiras will be level on matches played. A win would leave them one point off the leader, with a head-to-head at Nubank Parque to come in the Brasileirão. Kick-off is at 19:30 Brasília time.
