Flamengo’s 2-0 win over Bahia this Sunday (19) marked another reunion between Everton Ribeiro and the red-and-black supporters. After the match, the former Mengão player thanked the Nation for the affection and declared his love for the Rubro-Negro.
— Very emotional, very grateful for everything I experienced here and for this reception. It is always an honor to come back here and be able to relive a little of what I experienced, with my friends, with this great fanbase and team -, he said, before concluding:
— Very grateful for all this affection they have, I also have this affection for everyone. I will always carry with me this love, this affection for the fans and for Flamengo -, Everton Ribeiro concluded as he left the Maracanã.
Wearing Bahia’s shirt, Everton Ribeiro did not have a standout performance this Sunday (19) against Flamengo. In the end, Bahia’s number 10 went without any direct contributions and watched the Rubro-Negro win 2-0 at the Maracanã.
In addition, as the number 10 left the Maracanã pitch after being substituted, the Rubro-Negro Nation applauded Everton Ribeiro. As a result, Bahia’s captain left the game to a standing ovation, with Flamengo fans chanting his name.
Everton Ribeiro is one of the recent idols in the history of Flamengo. That is because, in 2017, the midfielder agreed to be part of the football restructuring process the club was going through.
Wearing the Sacred Jersey, Everton Ribeiro totaled 391 appearances, with 45 goals and 64 assists. In addition, the midfielder won 11 titles with Flamengo. Finally, among the most important were two Libertadores titles, two Brazilian league titles, and one Copa do Brasil.
At the end of the 2023 season, however, Flamengo chose not to renew Everton Ribeiro’s contract, and he transferred to Bahia. In short, at the Bahia club, the player continues to play a leadership role. However, the midfielder still holds affection after historic years with the Rubro-Negro.
