Ex-Flamengo man Rodinei hits absurd milestone in Greece | OneFootball

Rodinei joined Olympiacos (GRE) in 2023 after years at Flamengo

Full-back Rodinei, formerly of Flamengo, is becoming an ever bigger part of Olympiacos (GRE) history. On Sunday (19), the right-back reached 150 matches in the Greek club’s shirt. The Brazilian hit the milestone against rivals Panathinaikos (GRE).

To make the achievement even more special, Rodinei scored one of the two goals in the 2-0 win in the Greek Championship. The defender has been at Olympiacos since 2023, when his contract with the Most Beloved came to an end.

What did Rodinei say about the 150 matches?

— It’s a very special moment in my career. Reaching 150 matches in this shirt in such a huge derby, against Panathinaikos, and also scoring a goal, is something I’ll keep with me forever — celebrated the former Flamengo player.

Beyond the number of appearances, Rodinei and company made history by winning Olympiacos’ first Conference League in 2024. The Brazilian is under contract until 2027, with a chance to win another national league title, as the team currently sits in second place.

How did Rodinei do at Flamengo?

Rodinei was at Flamengo from 2016 to 2022, with a break in 2020, when he played for Internacional on loan. In total, the full-back won two Libertadores, one Brasileirão, one Copa do Brasil and two Carioca titles.

In the Copa do Brasil, the wing-back took the decisive penalty that secured the title over Corinthians. In the 2022 Libertadores, Rodinei played a quick one-two with Everton Ribeiro, who then crossed for Gabigol’s goal against Athletico-PR in Ecuador, which sealed Flamengo’s third title.
