Born in Rio, the player has a huge connection with the stadium. So much so that, also in 2015, he got a tattoo on his right arm that reproduces Christ the Redeemer, the Copacabana sidewalk and the Maraca.

– I wanted to do something related to Rio de Janeiro, because that’s where I was born and raised. It was also a tribute to the neighborhood where I was born. As I left when I was very young, I wanted to keep a memory with me – said the player in 2016, when he won Olympic gold for the national team playing at Maracanã.

Two-time champions from Rio de Janeiro in 2007 and 2008, the player usually says that he scored his most important goal against Botafogo with the club’s shirt. After a 2-2 in the first game, Fla was losing 2-1 to the rival at Maracanã in the second game of the 2007 final.

– I was born and raised on the Maracanã side. I’m from Tijuca, I was walking to Maracanã. I lived 400 meters from Maracanã. I took the bus to school and passed in front of the stadium every day. I used to say: “One day, I will be happy here”. And experiencing everything I experienced there, for Flamengo and for the Seleção at the Olympics, was the realization of a dream. I made a boy’s dream come true – said the player this year to the podcast “Hoje Sim”, by Cléber Machado.

Renato’s good performances made fans and the press, at first, compare the player to Zico. From an early age, he tried to avoid this type of comment as much as possible.
–
– When I went up to professional, this thing came again Zico. I said: “For God’s sake, Zico won’t even sleep. I have three games, I can’t be compared to the greatest player in the club’s history.” This gets in the way, you bring an even greater responsibility – recalled the athlete, today at 33.
