Every Brazilian player has or has had the dream of playing for Flamengo. It was no different for Robert, a former Brazil national team player who also had a memorable spell at Santos. The former midfielder was full of praise for the Most Beloved and joked that he liked shining against the club because of the huge attention the country’s top team draws.

— It was my favorite victim, because it got a lot of attention. It always did. If you do something against Flamengo or at Flamengo… I had the chance to play for Flamengo in the 1990s. But I needed money, and Flamengo didn’t have much. Flamengo in the 1990s was terrible — said Robert, before adding:

— I’m sure my career would have gotten an ‘up’ if I had played there, even under those conditions. Flamengo was missing from my career. What you do at Flamengo echoes so much. If you score against Flamengo, wow… It’ll be shown everywhere — he added, in an interview with ‘BraboTV’.
