Maestro Júnior explains the seriousness of taking off your jersey after scoring a goal or leaving the field


Danilo volunteered to give an interview on the sidelines after Flamengo qualified for the semifinals of the Carioca on Sunday (15). However, the club’s communications team prevented him from speaking because the defender was shirtless, which is a serious issue according to commentator Maestro Júnior, an idol of the Red and Black.

The Flamengo players need to remember that when they score a goal, they cannot take off their jersey. Otherwise, you cause damage to the sponsor, especially when giving an interview. As for Botafogo, they should worry about minimizing the damage at the altitude of Potosí — warned Júnior during the post-match broadcast.

Why did Maestro Júnior mention Botafogo?

The Red and Black qualified by eliminating Botafogo at Engenhão. Lucas Paquetá and Erick Pulgar scored for Fla, while Barboza reduced the deficit for the home team, who will play in the Libertadores qualifiers on Wednesday (18).

Therefore, the next opponent for the Red and Black in the Carioca semifinal is Madureira. This is because the team from the interior of Rio de Janeiro beat Boavista 2-1 on the other side of the bracket.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

Without taking off their shirts, Flamengo heads into the first match of the Recopa Sudamericana this Thursday (19). The Red and Black visit Lanús (ARG) at the Néstor Díaz Pérez Stadium, starting at 9:30 PM (Brasília time).

So, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match between Flamengo and Lanús through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, ESPN (cable channel) and Disney+ (streaming) will broadcast the Recopa match.
