Pillars of the ‘2019 Generation’ of Flamengo, Bruno Henrique and Diego Ribas were together ‘virtually’ this Monday (12). In an interview with the podcast ‘Barbacast’, the number 27 received a tribute from the former player. Emotional, the forward fondly recalled the ‘magical year’ of 2019.
— Bruno Henrique, our BH, I only have positive things to say about this guy. It was truly a pleasure to share the locker room with him for so many years. A guy who leads by example, attitude, professionalism, courage —, said Diego Ribas. — He is the kind of guy we can always count on. His statements, the way he is humble, genuine, authentic, competitive, a winner. I’m a fan of this guy, of his family. Congratulations on everything. I love you, Brunão —, added the former number 10 of Gávea.
Right after Diego's message, Bruno Henrique remained silent for a few seconds, visibly moved, and recalled the year 2019. In that season, the duo won the Carioca, the Libertadores, and the Brasileirão. The last two were remarkable: a comeback goal in the final minutes, and another with the greatest campaign of all time in the points system.
— It was the best group I worked with. Many people don’t understand… They say we only talk about 2019, but they don’t understand the context. Flamengo had been a long time without winning, the way we won, the way the group was united. Only those who were there know how it was —, recalled Bruno Henrique.
— This group, we know how it was. Winning the way we did, Libertadores and Brasileirão, champion on the trio elétrico. That’s why it was marked in 2019, I really believe in that. People don’t understand why we talk so much about 2019 —, added the forward.
Besides recalling the great times of 2019, Bruno Henrique talked about his relationship with Jorge Jesus, the ‘fights’ with Gabigol, and the ‘no’ given to the president of Palmeiras, Leila Pereira, who made an irresistible offer for the forward in 2023.
