Fluminense players defy director after loss, unrest at Maracanã | OneFootball

Why Were Zubeldía and Mário Bittencourt Upset with the Fluminense Players?

Flamengo won the Campeonato Carioca over Fluminense this Sunday (08). Because of this, the players from the Laranjeiras team didn’t even stay on the field to watch the Most Beloved lift the trophy. The scene, in fact, irritated Zubeldía and Mário Bittencourt, the current general director.

According to information from the portal ‘365score’, Fluminense’s coach Zubeldía and the club’s general director Mário Bittencourt asked the players to remain on the field while Flamengo lifted the trophy. The athletes, however, went down to the locker room and only Ganso and Renê stayed on the field.

Zubeldía even went down to the locker room to call the Fluminense players. However, no one obeyed. Thus, the coach of the Laranjeiras team and Mário Bittencourt were irritated by the players’ attitude.

And What About the Flamengo Players?

The Flamengo players celebrated the Campeonato Carioca title a lot. That’s because the Most Beloved lost the Recopa and the Supercopa this year. Therefore, the state championship trophy served as a relief during a delicate moment in the season.

When Is Flamengo’s Next Match?

Flamengo now turns its attention to the match against Cruzeiro, on Wednesday (11), at Maracanã, for the fifth round of the Campeonato Brasileiro. The match is scheduled for 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time).
