Vasco da Gama’s biggest idol and former club president, Roberto Dinamite, 67, announced this Sunday (9) in a post on social media that he will start a chemotherapy treatment this week.
According to the post, he underwent emergency surgery on Christmas Eve to unclog part of the intestine, from which he has already been discharged and is recovering at home. Additional tests, however, would have revealed “some tumors”.
“But unfortunately, [a cirurgia] the final whistle has not yet come. In the tests carried out, we discovered some tumors. Hard news, but I only have one option: to raise my head and face this battle”, said Dinamite in a video linked to the message, in which he thanked the team at Hospital Rio Mar, where he performed the surgery and exams.
“This week I will start my chemotherapy treatment looking for a speedy recovery to return to my activities as soon as possible”, the message continued.
Roberto Dinamite is the top scorer in the history of Vasco, the Campeonato Brasileiro and the Campeonato Carioca, with 708 goals scored by the Cruz-Maltina team.
Dinamite was also president of the club between 2008 and 2014 and state deputy for the state of Rio de Janeiro for five terms by the former PMDB (now MDB).
