Photographer's Note
Mané Garrincha (1933-83) was one of the best soccer players of the world, many people says it was even better than Pelé. He was nicknamed "the angel of the bend legs".
The National Stadium was named in his homage, but during the world Cup of 2014 it was necessary a big number of new stadiums and the old ones were renovated. This old stadium was transformed in a big one and it was used a huge amount of money on it, this was one of the many scandals of Dilma government.
After a long delay they wanted to put another name in the stadium by locals demanded the old name on it. At the end the city got a huge stadium, but its soccer teams were so small to attract so many people and nowadays the stadium is used as a giant place for musical events.
Here we can see the external ring of columns and the empty parking lot, the Big Axis, the TV tower and the hotel sector, JK Memorial are around. At left you can see the Gymnasium I showed you few days ago.

Mané Garrincha (1933-83), foi um dos maiores jogadores de futebol do mundo e alguns dizem que ele era mesmo melhor que Pelé. Foi apelidado de "Anjo das pernas tortas".
O estádio nacional de Brasília foi batizado com seu nome, mas quando da organização da copa de 2014 o país necessitava de estádios maiores e mais modernos e os antigos como esse foram renovados. Gastaram uma gigantesca quantia de dinheiro e houve um grande atraso nas obras. Quiseram modificar o nome do estádio, mas a população local exigiu o nome tradicional. Por fim a cidade ficou com um estádio imenso, mas seus times de futebol eram pequenos demais para o seu uso e agora o estádio é usado como local de eventos musicais.
Vemos aqui o anel de colunas diante do estacionamento vazio. O estádio fica próximo da Torre de TV, do setor hoteleiro, do Eixão e do Memorial JK. O ginásio que eu mostrei há alguns dias aparece do lado esquerdo da foto.

Hi Jorge,
I don't know much about football. I have heard about Pele but not about the Mané Garrincha, so this is a chance for me to learn something new through your photography.
It looks good in black and white and I think it was good to include the people walking there, they bring in some life to the scene.
Very well done,
M

Hi Jorge,
The presence of the persons has an effect of scale. The point of view is showing the details of the Mané Garrincha National Stadium. The black and white is giving a good contrast to the scene. Have a nice day.

Hi Jorge,history repeats itself, even in Italy for the 90 World Cup many stadiums have been renovated and many scandals have followed, here we see a beautiful total photo of the stadium in Brasilia, I know Garrincha very well, certainly with him the World Cup of 14 would have had a different outcome for Brazil humiliated by Germany. Have a nice day and thanks,Luciano

Hello Jorge,
A good photo of this stadium, the large empty area around it offered a clear view. I like the repetition of the vertical lines all around the building. The people are a good addition to the empty parking lot in the foreground.

Hola Jorge.
Una Magnifica foto a la cual la presentacion en B6W le da un toque atemporal, bonita esa forma circulas con las delgadas columnas en todo su circulo.
Nitidez e iluminación asi como magnífica composición; estan gestionados a la perfección.
Buen trabajo. Me gusta.
Que tengas un buen día. Un abrazo y saludos.
Luis.
