A major meeting took place last Friday night (24). A super champion and hero of Flamengo’s fourth Libertadores title, Danilo met Hollywood star Will Smith. The red-and-black defender shared the moment on social media.
“Some experiences only reinforce the importance of shining a light on and giving visibility to extraordinary stories of ordinary people, where sacrifice, resilience, and courage are tools to go beyond fear. They help weaken the desires of the ego and make us increasingly see the potential greatness in every human being. Said by one of the greatest in history. Sensational,” Danilo wrote on Instagram, in a photo alongside Will wearing a Flamengo shirt.
Danilo and Will met in São Paulo during the Expert XP event. The actor was one of the guests and gave a talk sharing a bit about his journey to success in cinema. Danilo, meanwhile, who trained Friday morning (24) at Ninho do Urubu, flew shortly afterward to the state capital to attend the event.
Shortly after the event, Danilo returned to Rio de Janeiro. After all, this Saturday (25), the squad trains at 4:00 p.m. (Brasília time), focusing on the match against São Paulo in the 20th round of the Brasileirão. The hero of the fourth title is expected to start on the bench in the match, which kicks off at 6:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at the Maracanã.
The back line should be made up of Vitão and Léo Pereira, the same pairing that started against Chapecoense. Danilo, who came on in the second half of the 4-0 rout at Arena Condá, has gained a new competitor. Recovered from injury, Léo Ortiz will be included in the squad for Sunday’s match (26). Since he has been out since May, the No. 3 is also expected to be among the substitutes.
Flamengo vs São Paulo will be broadcast exclusively on the pay-per-view channel Premiere. However, the best and most red-and-black coverage is from Coluna do Fla. Live from the Maracanã, Rock Hudson and Rodrigo Lima will bring all the details of the clash.
— I think it’s really cool when international stars are gifted Flamengo shirts. It’s free exposure for the brand. Danilo did well to gift Will the Manto. He will surely keep it with great affection — commented Pedro Paulo Catonho, journalist at Coluna do Fla.
