Danilo hits back at Flamengo fans: “The only thing that upsets me is…” | OneFootball

Danilo heaps praise on the Nation and expects a packed Maracanã for the Recopa

Anti-Flamengo fans are spreading fake news on social media, claiming that Flamengo supporters are ‘bandwagoners’. Annoyed by this lie, defender Danilo challenged, in the best sense of the word, the Nation to fill Maracanã next Thursday (26), against Lanús (ARG), even with the team going through a rough patch this season.

“Flamengo belongs to the people. As long as the people are dissatisfied, things will also be tough on the pitch. The only thing that bothers me, which I heard recently, is that Flamengo fans only show up when things are good,” said Danilo, in an interview after Flamengo’s match against Madureira.

“I absolutely disagree with that. On Thursday, I expect a very lively Maracanã, pushing the players forward, because I do not agree that Flamengo fans only show up in good times,” added the hero of Flamengo’s fourth Libertadores title, on Sunday (22).

DID DANILO REALLY NEED TO CALL THEM OUT?

Danilo called on the fans, but he didn’t even need to. Maracanã will be packed for the Recopa. As of this Monday (23), more than 55,000 tickets have been sold. So, even with tickets priced at R$ 300 for the general public in the North Sector, the expectation is for a full house on Thursday (26).

WHY DOES FLAMENGO NEED THE FANS?

Since they lost the first leg of the Recopa 1-0, Flamengo desperately needs a win. A victory by two goals will secure the team’s second Recopa title. If they win by just one goal, the match will go to a penalty shootout.

The ball gets rolling at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), with full coverage from Coluna do Fla on the website, social media, and YouTube. In addition, the subscription channel ESPN and the Disney Premium streaming platform will broadcast the big final.
