Needled him! Bap gifts Palmeiras fan a Danilo-signed Flamengo shirt | OneFootball

Edgar Corona, owner of the Smart Fit gym chain, put on a Flamengo shirt

On Friday (24), Flamengo launched a gym in partnership with Smart Fit. During the inauguration ceremony, the club’s president, Luiz Eduardo Baptista, known as Bap, gave the chain’s owner, Edgar Corona, a Mengão shirt. One detail: the businessman supports Palmeiras, and the jersey had the autograph of Danilo, who tormented Abel Ferreira’s team in last year’s Libertadores final.

— I have a gift for you. Edgar is a Palmeiras fan, but in the Rubro-Negro home, today you’re Flamengo. The shirt has his name on it, number 10. Let me see here. Autographs from Léo Jardim, Léo Pereira, Arrascaeta, Danilo… You can take it (laughs) —, Bap joked.

Edgar took it in stride and even put on the Flamengo shirt. On top of that, the owner of Smart Fit joked and told Lucas Paquetá to watch out, ‘threatening’ to take his spot in Flamengo’s midfield. He also said that he had asked for the gift.

WHERE IS THE GYM LOCATED?

The Smart Fit Mengão gym is located at the club’s headquarters, in Gávea. With 830 square meters, the unit has modern equipment, weight training areas, cardio, free weights, and a spa. In addition, it has a view of Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon and Christ the Redeemer.

Even though it is inside Flamengo’s headquarters, anyone can sign up for the gym. Club members get a 10% discount. The partnership is part of the club’s strategy to expand the services offered to members, strengthen the presence of major brands in Gávea, and diversify revenue sources.

— Smart Fit’s arrival expands the structure and services offered at the Gávea headquarters and provides a concrete benefit to our members. It is a partnership between two brands with a strong national presence, united by sport and the promotion of quality of life —, Bap commented.

AFTER ALL, WHAT IS THE AUTHOR’S OPINION ON THE SUBJECT?

— Edgar’s attitude in receiving the Flamengo shirt was really cool. He took it as a joke, the way football should be taken. Let it serve as an example, so that fans spread more and more peace in the stadiums, on the streets, and on social media. Today, the atmosphere of rivalry between teams is very tense. And Bap and Edgar showed how it should be —, opined Pedro Paulo Catonho, a journalist for Coluna do Fla.
