Flamengo outselling Real
Brazilian side Flamengo are selling their shirts at a faster rate than Spanish giants Real Madrid, according to the club's marketing department.
"According to the most recent figures available we have sold 435,000 shirts in a little less than 60 days. That's one every 13.5 seconds. By way of example, Real Madrid, since buying Kaka (in June) and (Cristiano) Ronaldo (in July) have sold a shirt every 16 seconds," Ricardo Hinrichsen claimed on the Globoesporte website.
Flamengo, whose squad includes veteran striker Adriano, who quit Inter Milan citing personal problems last season, is Brazil's most popular club.
