The Flamengo fan is still celebrating the comeback victory over Corinthians, 2-1, on Sunday (29). A fan of the defeated team, the President of the Republic Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, is understandably unhappy. The politician vented about the mistakes of the São Paulo team at the Neo Química Arena.
— Last night (Sunday) I was really p... off. Corinthians played against Flamengo. The (first lady) Janja is a die-hard Flamengo fan. I am a die-hard Corinthians fan. And Corinthians, due to their own mistakes, not because of Flamengo's merit, lost the game —, said Lula, on Monday (29).
— When I think that happiness is not just about receiving things, it's about giving. And when my wife was happy and I was sad, I said: I can't be sad, because my wife is happy. I will be happy with her and celebrate Flamengo's victory, even with Corinthians at risk of being relegated —, he added.
Lula said that Flamengo had no merits, but the Rubro-Negro completely dominated the second half. Despite Yuri Alberto scoring first, Arrascaeta and Luiz Araújo managed to turn the game around for the team with the largest fan base in Brazil.
Thus, to Janja's joy and Lula's despair, Flamengo surged ahead in the Brasileirão standings, with 54 points. Meanwhile, Corinthians, the President's team, remained at 29, in 13th place in the championship. That is, even outside the South American zone.
After making Lula sad, Flamengo will try to bring more joy to Janja on Thursday (02), against Cruzeiro, in the 26th round of the Brasileirão. The match kicks off at 8:30 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã, with full coverage by Coluna do Fla.
