Flamengo fans eject Gerson’s father from Maracanã stand | OneFootball

Flamengo and Cruzeiro faced off at Maracanã in the fifth round of the Brasileirão

Flamengo was leading Cruzeiro 1-0 when the Flamengo fans expelled Gerson's father from Maracanã Mais. This happened because, on Wednesday (11), the player’s agent needed an escort to cross the privileged section of the stadium.

Flamengo supporters threw cups of beer, shouted insults, and booed the player’s representative, who did not react. As a result, the Maracanã staff had no choice but to accompany Marcão out of the area.

Why the hostility towards Gerson’s father?

Throughout the midfielder’s career, it’s common to see his agent seeking the spotlight to gain leverage in contracts. At Flamengo, for example, the agent caused a scandal to secure a raise for Gerson.

Then, in April 2025, the Rubro-Negro renewed the midfielder’s contract. Thus, Marcão managed to get his son a higher salary and a reduction in the release clause. Soon after, Zenit (RUS) paid the clause and took the midfielder away from Fla.

But what were Flamengo fans saying to Marcão?

The player’s agent likes to draw attention to himself. One of his tactics is to use catchphrases like: “Beautiful day!” and “Breathe, it’s free, because life has no replay.” These phrases served as ironic fuel for Flamengo fans to mock him.

Did Gerson also get booed by Flamengo fans?

Just like his father, Gerson was called a “mercenary,” “son of a b****,” and received other vulgar insults. Therefore, neither the player nor his mentor had a pleasant night in the fifth round of the Brasileirão.
