Brasileirão 2009: Flamengo Hexacampeão (6 times champion) and Flu saved!

August 16, 2009: Flamengo, for its last match of the round go the Brasileirão 2009, is corrected by 4-1 Gremio Porto Alegre, and completed the first part of the championship to a pathetic 10th place with 27 points taken in 19 day, and with 10 points behind Internacional (the other big club from Porto Alegre, the southern capital). For his part, faces a fall Fluminense Palmeiras then conqueror, and is 19th in ranking, with only 15 points, 6 points of the first non-relegation zone ...
At this point in the competition, even the most fervent torcedores both teams Cariocas would not bet a centavo on title chances (in Fla) and rescue from relegation (to the tricolor) of their teams of heart ...

And yet ...

December 6, 2009, shortly before 19h: while Flamengo, after a tense match played in a mediocre and Maracana overheated (see photo above), wins 2-1 against the same Gremio, and becomes for the 6th time champion Brazil ( Hexacampeão , as they say), joining at the same time the São Paulo FC at the top of the most successful teams in the country, Fluminense, meanwhile, snatched the draw in the antrum of Coritiba FC in a match at loggerheads, and miraculously saved at the same time a relegation seemed inevitable there are still 10 days!

What explains this double event which seemed highly unlikely here only 4 months? Well, in both cases, the same causes appear to have the same effect:
- New tecnicos (coach) arrived during the championship in the hollow of the two respective waves: Andrade (pictured -cons), the legendary midfielder Zico's team & co, Flamengo, and Cuca, the pariah of ... Flamengo fired a few weeks before, Fluminense, who have re-mobilize the troops and heal the wounds Previous management;
- Some key players, their technical leaders teams came alive and were able to pull up the entire workforce: Petkovic, the Serbian Rambo, Flamengo, brilliant and inspired from the top of its 37 years of age, and Fred, the former Lyon sulky long to be injured and registered on behalf of the Flu whopping 9 goals in the last 12 league matches!

Flamengo becomes champion again and interrupts a terrible fast ... that lasted 17 years, his last title back in 1992! Fluminense
avoids relegation, and thus will not live to their fans the nightmare of the late 90s when the club was down sequentially in the second ... then third division, before embarking on a lengthy "re-education" which will bring him back to Serie A in 2001.
And to make the celebration even more beautiful Rio, Botafogo is also put his own yesterday, beating heroically Verdo Palmeiras 2 goals to 1, and fleeing at the same time of the descent into the underworld of Series B!

What a pleasure to experience this major event (my heart Flamenguistas obviously speaks of the glorious conquest of rubro-negros !) With my friends Franco-Cariocas! Rua Conde de Bernadotte, Leblon, LCDs overheated Informal Botequim we have narrated this match epic, in an atmosphere worthy of a World Cup final (or better!). Hey, I can not resist the pleasure to post two videos merger back on topic:
Flamengo anthem with a nice trumpet:


The explosion of joy at the final whistle (in the 43rd second)! :


Only little rosy picture drawn above the row of fans brawl Coritiba, disappointed by the descent of their protégés, which caused the death of a policeman, and the terrible accident that we lived in near-live, a young Flamenguistas 26 years, which, to his joy of 2nd goal for Flamengo, has seen the loss tumble minibus was broke and killed outright in the Rua Conde de Bernadotte ... We dedicate course title rubro-negro to it ...
