Ronaldo Angelim

Angelim has become one of the greatest idols of Flamengo's current generation. He is most remembered for his header goals against Vasco da Gama, in the Taca Guanabara semi final match; Grêmio, in the last round of the 2009 Brazilian Série A; and against Botafogo, in the semi-finals of the 2011 Taca Guanabara.

2006 Season

In 2006, Angelim was signed by Flamengo, where he directly made the first squad. Although he alternated good and bad performances in the beginning, he saw innumerous defenders unsuccessfully pass through the club, while he was always kept in the squad. He debuted for the scarlet-blacks on February 2, in a 4–2 victory over Americano at Maracanã Stadium. In this game he scored one of his many goals for Flamengo. He helped the team win the Brazilian Cup, with two convincing wins against rivals, Vasco da Gama.

2007 Season

In the second semester of 2007, along with the newly signed defender Fabio Luciano, he started having constant solid performances. The impressive defenders helped Flamengo go from the relegation zone to qualifying for the Copa Libertadores. In 2007, he won the Taça Guanabara, and consequently the Rio de Janeiro State League.

2008 Season

In 2008, he won the Taça Rio, and consequently won Rio de Janeiro State League for the second time in a row. On October 27, 2008, on a Brazilian national television sports show, Ronaldo paid compliments to Angelim considering him as the "ideal defender".
