Before defending Cruzeiro, Cássio accumulated several seasons for Corinthians. In one of them, in fact, the goalkeeper ended up helping Flamengo win the Brasileirão title in 2020. Leaving Maracanã on Thursday (02), the goalkeeper recalled this Mengo trophy.
In a chat, the influencer 'Gabadão' said to Cássio: "you are an idol of the Nation, huh.". In a relaxed manner, the goalkeeper replied: "yeah, we won that title there. It was in 2020, during the pandemic, right".
In the 2020 Brasileirão, Flamengo and Internacional arrived at the last round fighting for the title. On that occasion, the Rubro-Negro faced São Paulo, while the team from Rio Grande do Sul faced Corinthians.
In the match at Morumbi, Flamengo lost to São Paulo and, therefore, had to root for Corinthians. Given this, the team from São Paulo, which had Cássio in goal at the time, stopped Internacional, ending in a draw. Thus, the title went to Mengão.
This time, Cássio was not in favor of Flamengo. This is because, during the match on Thursday (02), the Cruzeiro goalkeeper made important saves, preventing the Rubro-Negro from scoring. Thus, the match at Maracanã ended in a 0-0 draw.
While Cássio is reminiscing about the title, the Flamengo squad returns to the field on Sunday (05) to face Bahia, for the 27th round of the Brasileirão. The ball rolls at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Fonte Nova, in Salvador.
The Coluna do Fla TV, as usual, shows the details of the match with the most red-black coverage on the internet, on YouTube. Finally, Premiere, via pay-per-view, broadcast the match.
