Chapter 9 - A Classic Is a Classic!

Episode 9 – "A Classic Is a Classic!"

---

Scene 1 – Day Before the Match – Flamengo Training Center

The mood is tense but funny. Flamengo is training hard.

Matheus Blake sharpens his finishing, Miguel Nakamura focuses on his dribbles, and Paulinho... misses everything.

Paulinho (grumbling):

— This ball's messing with me. Must've been born in São Januário.

Camila Ferreira (laughing):

— It's not the ball. It's you kicking with Vasco's spirit stuck to you.

Vitão (teasing):

— Paulinho's like a broken GPS: always sends the ball the wrong way.

Coach Bruno Salgado (serious):

— Focus, team! The classic is tomorrow. Vasco's coming hungry!

Nicolas Agustin (captain, firm):

— Juninho's got grit. Tim's a natural scorer. But we've got something they don't...

Blake (tapping the badge on his chest):

— ...the weight of this jersey right here!

Scene 3 – First Half – 1x1

Tim Andras opens the score with a rocket from long range!

Tim (yelling):

— TIM ANDRAS!!! THIS IS VASCO!!!

But shortly after, Blake receives a pass from Miguel, dribbles two, fakes Juninho out of his shoes, and buries it.

Announcer:

— It's him! MATHEUS BLAKE! Flamengo strikes back instantly!

Juninho (panting):

— Did that kid drink an energy drink or get possessed?

Paulinho (from the bench):

— It's love, bro. Ever since he talked to Camila, he turned Super Saiyan.

Scene 4 – Second Half – 2x1 Flamengo

Miguel gets a pass from Nicolas, glides past two defenders, quick one-two with Vitão and... GOAL!

Camila (on the sideline, emotional):

— MIGUEL!!! What a beautiful play!

Paulinho (joking):

— This Japanese dude is like a Konami cheat code.

Vitão:

— Man… I just passed. He did it all. He's a ninja!

Announcer:

— Final whistle! Flamengo comes from behind and wins it: 2–1!

Scene 5 – Flamengo Locker Room

Blake (laughing, tired):

— Tough match... but that's why we wear red and black!

Nicolas:

— They came hard. But we showed who runs Rio.

Camila walks over to Blake, smiling, and hands him a water bottle.

Camila:

— You played like a prince… for real.

Blake (smiling back):

— Can princes invite princesses for açaí after the game?

Camila:

— If there's a double topping of goals, I'm in.

Paulinho (shouting):

— THE PRINCE IS IN LOVE!!! Wedding at the Training Center!

Everyone throws towels and water, and Vitão jokingly flying kicks the bench laughing.

Final Scene – Vasco Locker Room

Juninho:

— They're on another level...

Tim (staring at his boots):

— But the season's not over. We'll flip this… one day at a time.
