Danilo braves southern chill, kind gesture to fan 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 greatness 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 of 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 bond with the Rubro-Negro supporters. Right after the win, the player headed to the locker room without his uniform, 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 surprise to anyone that, even when he does not play, the number 13 plays a key leadership role on the sidelines, 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 has already secured his place at the 2026 World Cup. At the moment, the player has made 12 appearances in a Flamengo shirt this season, as part of the rotation that Leonardo Jardim has implemented in the squad to deal with the grueling schedule of competitions. In this 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) against Vitória at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time). The match will be played at Barradão and is worth a place in the next round of the national tournament.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla follows every detail of the clash and brings 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.
