Danilo braves southern chill and wins over fans after Flamengo v Grêmio | OneFootball

Danilo strengthens his connection with Flamengo fans with every match

Even without taking the field in Flamengo’s 1-0 win over Grêmio this Sunday (10), in the Brasileirão, Danilo found a way to show his class after the final whistle. Cameras captured the exact moment the experienced defender left the pitch shirtless, ignoring the -10°C temperatures and the harsh cold in Rio Grande do Sul after giving his jersey to a fan.

In this way, the scene at Arena do Grêmio reinforces Danilo’s leadership role and strong connection with the Rubro-Negro fans. Right after the win, the player headed to the locker room without his kit, facing the low temperatures in Rio Grande do Sul bare-chested after making a fan’s day.

DID DANILO NOT PLAY?

At Arena do Grêmio, Danilo started the match on the bench, while Léo Ortiz and Léo Pereira formed the starting center-back pairing in the away win. However, it is no secret that even when he does not play, the number 13 plays a key leadership role on the sideline, guiding his teammates and celebrating the team’s performance.

In addition to his importance in the day-to-day life at Ninho do Urubu, the defender is already guaranteed a place at the 2026 World Cup. So far this season, the player has made 12 appearances in a Flamengo shirt, as part of the rotation that Leonardo Jardim has implemented in the squad to deal with the marathon of competitions. That way, the player keeps his match rhythm at a high level while preparing to represent the Brazilian National Team at the World Cup.

WHAT NOW?

With Danilo available, Flamengo now turns its attention to the Copa do Brasil. The Rubro-Negro takes the field this Thursday (14) to face Vitória at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time). The match will be played at Barradão and a spot in the next round of the national tournament is on the line.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will follow every detail of the clash and bring full coverage on YouTube, on the website, and on social media. In addition, SporTV (subscription channel) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will also broadcast the match live throughout Brazil.
