Stirring the pot? Corinthians post cheeky message ahead of Flamengo clash | OneFootball

Corinthians announced that they will reveal the lineup in Sign Language, a name that is trending in Flamengo's news

The Flamengo has become the target of attacks from teams such as São Paulo and Palmeiras after obtaining an injunction to block the payment of money from Libra clubs. On Sunday (28), before facing Mengão, Corinthians made a post that was understood as a provocation on social networks.

“Only Flamengo can make Corinthians and Palmeiras come together. We are all, except a few,” wrote a Flamengo fan. “Nation, remember that Pedro's celebrations will also be in SIGN LANGUAGE,” joked another. “Put default and bankruptcy in SIGN LANGUAGE too,” added another.

WHAT WAS THE PLAY ON WORDS?

The Corinthians' post refers to the Brazilian Sign Language (Libras). However, as this type of message is not common on the club's page, it was understood as an indirect. After all, in recent days, Flamengo's movement in the Libra group has caused outrage among opponents.

WHAT IS THE CONTROVERSY INVOLVING LIBRA?

Last year, Flamengo settled with Libra, a group of clubs for negotiating television rights. However, as soon as he took over the Most Beloved, in January, President Luiz Eduardo Baptista did not agree with the terms and asked for a readjustment, understanding that Rubro-Negro will be harmed and lose money.

Therefore, Flamengo went to court to block the payment of the other teams while the Flamengo's wish is not met. After succeeding, other Serie A teams were outraged and even issued notes of repudiation against Mengão.

São Paulo, Santos, Atlético-MG, Vitória and Palmeiras were some that manifested, after all. The club of Leila Pereira used stronger terms, accusing Flamengo of using a “predatory and vile measure” and attempt to “financially suffocate” the rivals.

WHEN WILL CORINTHIANS X FLAMENGO BE?

With irony from Corinthians, Flamengo takes the field this Sunday (28), at Neo Química Arena. Therefore, the ball rolls from 8:30 pm (Brasília time), for the Brasileirão. In this way, Coluna do Fla provides complete coverage of the match, on the website, on social networks and on YouTube.
