Former Flamengo Player Ibson Reveals How Leonardo Jardim Will Make Fans Forget Jorge Jesus

Brazilian champion with Flamengo in 2009, Ibson knows the club like no one else. Having been with the Rubro-Negro since he was nine years old, the former number 7 knows all the ins and outs of Mengão, including the paths to success. The ex-player offered some advice for Leonardo Jardim to shine at Fla and make the Nation forget Jorge Jesus.

— Win titles. That’s how Flamengo is: you just won a title, he arrived and won, but it’s no use losing the next games, because the pressure at Flamengo is huge, there’s always this demand, but to make people forget Jorge Jesus, you need titles, that’s how you make your mark in history — said Ibson.

— I believe he will use what Flamengo does best, which is ball possession. Of course, he’ll try to make his own final adjustments, but I believe Flamengo will continue with the same style of play — added the former number 7 of the Rubro-Negro, in an interview with ESPN.

WILL LEONARDO JARDIM SUCCEED?

Leonardo Jardim started his journey at Flamengo on the right foot. Right in his debut, the coach won the Carioca championship against Fluminense. Afterwards, he beat Cruzeiro in the last round of the Brasileirão. Now, the focus is on his first victory in derbies in regular time.

This Saturday (14), Flamengo faces Botafogo at Engenhão, for the sixth round of the Brasileirão. The match kicks off at 8:30 pm (Brasília time), broadcast on Prime Video. If Mengão is on the field, then the Coluna do Fla team is at the stadium.

WHO IS IBSON?

Currently 42 years old, Ibson joined Flamengo at age nine and made his professional debut at 18. Over several stints, the former midfielder wore the Sacred Mantle for the senior team from 2003 to 2005, 2007 to 2009, and 2012 to 2013.
