Happy Flamengo supporters day
October 28. St. Jude Thaddeus – one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus – feast day. In the Roman Catholic Church he is considered the saint of desperate cases and lost causes; therefore, he is the patron saint of Flamengo. When Flamengo is in need of something, the board goes to the Igreja de São Judas Tadeu (St. Jude Thaddeus Church) and there they pray for those things they want – usually, not to be relegated, a title, or even a blessed new shirt.
How long has it been?
Due to school, midterms, and life I haven't been able to keep up with my duties as the Santos FC blogger. In this moment of respite I can finally resume my duties. A recap and a preview of today's game after the jump.

Red and Black Power
Nelson Rodrigues was a brazilian dramatist – also a journalist and writer. He was born on August 23, 1912 in Recife. He moved to Rio de Janeiro in 1916 and there lived under the influence of his journalist father, working since he was 14, covering the police beat for his father’s newspaper. By 15 he dropped out of school and by 16 he already had his own column. But in a couple years his family’s business would fail. His dad died and he and his brothers had to seek work at rival newspapers.

Friday videos (1)
Alright. I’m starting now a section I will call Friday Videos. Every Friday I am going to post (at least I’ll try to) some videos here so you can have a great weekend and I hope it will inspire our players.
This first video is from the match known as the start of our most glorious time. Flamengo had a great team but never took the championship. Zico crossed from a corner kick and Rondinelli headed to the goal, scoring the championship goal and beginning Flamengo’s golden age.

Nothing to say (1)
Tomorrow I will be on the road heading to my hometown, but I don’t want to leave an old post here and I know you guys from Europe are already asleep. So, in addition to this post I will write other one and schedule it. Well, I don’t know if I can call it writing, but I will embed some videos here.

Northeastern shame?
As I said, a tie, but not as I was hoping Vitória scored 3 times. Bruno had a not so good presentation and our defensive players were kind of sleepy. But man, even with Adriano out we scored three times, the last goal being at the 90th minute.

I gotta feeling
That tonight’s gonna be a good night. Well. Not on a Black Eyed Peas way of good night. I don’t expect a victory, but having in mind that we had a clean sheet for the last 6 matches, I expect another tonight, and even though we are going to face our inglorious brothers who never honored the red and the black, we will play in their stadium. We played against them 50 times, winning 31 matches and losing only 8. But I wouldn’t be so surprised if we win.

Paying to Adriano to gain with Adriano
Besides scoring 15 times on 21 matches and being the Brazilian League leading scorer, there are some other important numbers about Adriano.

Some old news
Sorry guys I left this blog so much time without any news, but I had some problems (everything is just fine now) and from now on, I'm back. Most people may not even noticed my absence, but we have around 600 visitors monthly and to you guys, I apologize.
So here I am now and what news do I have? I might say that in the last 3 months nothing really special happened. I mean, we've changed our manager (as usual) after some bad results, but it was necessary. Cuca did not managed the players very well and that way the group got against him. I know, it may sound ridiculous, but things like these happen frequently here in Brazil, especially when we are talking about Flamengo.
Now Andrade - one of the most our brilliant players - took control of the team and after a terrifying start, on which the team got really close to the relegation zone, we began to win and for the last 6 matches Flamengo had a clean sheet. It's the first time we reach such a great number since, I don't know, decades. From the last 18 points, Flamengo won 14 of them and now we are on the 6th position. Only 4 points away from the continental competition classification zone. And that is happening because now we have a great defensive line with Ronaldo Angelim and Álvaro and a new defensive midfielder, Maldonado.

Time for revenge against the Roosters
Tomorrow we face O Galo (The Rooster) away and revenge is the first thing on my mind. When we played earlier this year we lost 3x2 due to some poor referring decisions.
