"Flamengo Takes The Lead In The Digital Ranking And Becomes The Club With The Largest Digital Base In The Country"


With monitoring and continuous analysis on the basis of those enrolled in the main social networks of Brazilian clubs, IBOPE Repucom identified last night, September 27, the leadership position in the digital ranking of clubs by the Clube de Regatas Flamengo, and this morning , the club had extended its advantage to 29 thousand enrolled, considering the social networks monitored. Changes of position among the top 5 clubs in the ranking are rare, so the importance of this made by the club in Rio.

In the last eight months, the club has registered the highest growth among the 40 clubs analyzed on a monthly basis and, to date, has conquered more than 2.4 million new entrants in its networks in 2017, up 14% compared to the December survey. 2016. In turn, Corinthians added 1.4 million new registrations, 8% more than in December of the previous year.

This growth, which exceeded that of the São Paulo club over the last nine months, has made Gávea's club the leader in the digital ranking, consolidating its position as a reference soccer club in terms of enrollment in the country.

This year has been important for the social media of Flamengo. In 2017 the club achieved the leadership of enrolled in three of the monitored platforms. In January he became the leader in enrollment in his Instagram account, in June he became a leader in Facebook subscribers and in August "FLA TV" obtained the leadership of enrolled among the Brazilian soccer clubs on YouTube.

José Colagrossi, executive director of IBOPE Repucom adds: "The search for information about heart clubs through social media is already a habit for internauts football fans, and there is great opportunity for clubs to create properties and produce sponsored content in partnership with its sponsors. A good activation strategy based on the production of quality content certainly boosts results and increases engagement with published content.(colunadoflamengo) 

It Was Not Imponderable: Wall Erred 73% Of The Sides In 22 Penalties In The Fla.

Holder in the final, shirt 38 jumped to the right corner in the five charges for strategy. Three longest-serving goalkeepers in the club's recent past have excelled in the

Diego was the villain of the Flamengo runners-up in the Brazilian Cup, being the only one to lose a penalty in the decision, after 0-0 in the normal time against Cruzeiro. However, the red-black crowd also came back to be irritated with the goalkeeper Wall. He, again, did not defend any of the five charges against his goal.

After the game, coach Reinaldo Rueda classified the defeat on penalties as something '' imponderable '' . More than that, it turned out to be a mathematical question. It was Flamengo's third penalty shootout this season, all with goalkeeper Alex Muralha. The Rubro-Negro was defeated in all three, without having any penalty defended. Fluminense and Paraná were the other executioners of the Gávea team.

After the game, Wall revealed that jumping to the same side in all charges of the Cruise was a strategy . By the end, the Cruzeiro had hit 25 penalties in 2017, 14 - more than 50% - on the right side . It did not work: only Diego Barbosa beat there and the red-black goalkeeper did not even come close to defending.
Going bad in the matter is not new to Wall. In 22 penalties charged against Fla with the goalkeeper in the goal, he only defended one , against Bangu, in the Carioca of 2016 (use of 4.5%).
Of the other 21 balls, one hit the crossbar, and another 20 entered. And in 16 of them, he did not even hit the side, that is, 73% of the cases.

  • 25 charges 
  • 14 on the right side 
  • 9 on the left side 
  • 2 in the middle of the goal


It is not disputed that in the hour of penalties the batter is in better conditions. However, Wall has been showing flaws. He seems impatient, therefore, unlike many colleagues who do well in penalties, it is difficult to expect the batter to make the decision and ends up falling sooner. The fact of "not going out in the photo" in several collections also put it in the sights of the fans.


COLLECTION GROWS AFTER PENALTY PICKERS PASS BY GAS

The charge is growing because Flamengo has a recent history of having penalty takers. Bruno, Felipe and Paulo Victor shone before the batters from 2006 to 2015.

Among them, Bruno was the most crucial one , today imprisoned because of the murder of Eliza Samudio. It is true that the old shirt 1 suffered 40 goals in 59 in which he was put to the test, which gives him 25% advantage, the worst between him, Felipe and PV, but the player revealed by the Rooster is a central figure in the achievements of the Cariocas of 2007 and 2009 and the Brazilian hexacampeonato. 

Among the feats, Bruno has two penalties defended in the state decision of 2007, against Botafogo, and another three - one in regulation time - before the same opponent and also in a Carioca final. In the 2009 Brasileirão, he took two penalties against Santos in the same game, giving gas to the start that culminated with the title. In games of lesser importance Edmundo and Dodo stopped, losing two in a single duel. Both wore Vasco's shirt, but in different years: 2008 and 2010, respectively.

Who has the best use of the trio, however, is Felipe : 39%. It was decisive in the Carioca of 2011, taking two penalties - each - in the semifinals of the Guanabara Cup and the Rio Cup of the year in question, against Botafogo and Fluminense, respectively. It was a penalty that Felipe defended for Elano and then made a little trouble - in the game in question, the Fla achieved to turn to 5 to 4 game that was in 3 to 0 for the Santos.

Paulo Victor , with a 30% advantage, also increased in the matter and his great accomplishment was to have caught two penalties in the epic turn over Coritiba, in the quarterfinals of the 2014 Brazil Cup (see below) , when Flamengo, who lost 3 to 0 in Paraná, returned the score.(globoesporte.globo)

Government Decides To Keep Daylight Saving Time, Which Begins On The 15th

Issue was discussed over the weekend with President Temer

Afternoon at Arpoador, Rio de Janeiro - Daniela Dacorso: Daniela Hallack Dacorso / Agência O Globo
BRASÍLIA - The Ministry of Mines and Energy reported on Monday that it will keep summer time this year. The news had been anticipated by GLOBO columnist Lauro Jardim, in his blog . Daylight saving time starts on October 15 and runs until February 2018. The subject was discussed yesterday in a meeting with President Michel Temer at the Jaburu Palace.

DST was under study at the Civil House, which set up a working group to assess the effectiveness of the measure, as O GLOBO revealed . The subject came to be discussed after a study by the National Electric System Operator (ONS) and the Ministry of Mines and Energy concluded that this public policy has effects "close to neutrality" in relation to the electric energy economy.

Daylight saving time was created in order to save electricity during the period in which it is in effect. Studies conducted by ONS have shown that this goal is no longer achieved. It was from there that the subject began to be analyzed by other government entities.

The program was first established in Brazil in the summer of 1931/1932 and has been adopted continuously since 1985. According to government data, the economy with the last edition of the timetable (between October 2016 and February) was R $ 159, 5 million. This value, considered low by the electric sector, is due to the reduction of the use of thermal plants to complement the demand for energy.

With summer time, residents of the South, Southeast and Midwest should advance the clock in one hour from October 15 until February 2018. (oglobo.globo)
