Flamengo won easily, but faced protests from fans at Maracanã

Flamengo crushed Madureira this Monday (02) with an 8-0 victory at Maracanã, in the Campeonato Carioca. After the match, Flamengo fans resumed their protests against the players. However, Eric Faria defended the athletes and called for more respect.

“I don't agree with this chant. It's a champion team. Shameless are other things we see around the world. These athletes don't deserve to hear this,” said journalist Eric Faria, right after Flamengo's match against Madureira.

WHAT'S THE CONTEXT?

The Flamengo fans have been protesting against the players, Filipe Luís, and the club's management since last month. This Monday (02), even with the 8-0 thrashing of Madureira, protests were once again seen at Maracanã.

“Shameless team” was the chant echoed at Maracanã this Monday (02), after the final whistle. It's worth mentioning that Flamengo is the current champion of the Copa Libertadores, the Campeonato Carioca, and the Brasileirão.

FILIPE LUÍS FIRED?

Right after the match against Madureira, Flamengo announced the departure of coach Filipe Luís. Thus, he no longer leads the team. As a result, the Most Beloved is now searching for a new coach for the remainder of the season.

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO PLAY?

Now, Flamengo remains focused on the Campeonato Carioca. This is because the team will face Fluminense on Sunday (08) at 6:00 PM (Brasília time), in the final of the state tournament, at Maracanã. Therefore, Coluna do Fla provides all the information.
