Fenerbahçe fans.In the middle of 2007 season Fabio signed with Brazilian side Flamengo a 6 month contract. He debuted on
August 11 2007 against Náutico inMaracanã being assigned by coachJoel Santana as the new team captain. Still in the first half he scored his first goal for the club, and since then started a strong connection with Flamengo supporters.Flamengo career statistics
