Cauã Reymond reveals how Flamengo thrashing featured in Jogada de Risco | OneFootball

Actor Cauã Reymond was at the Maracanã during Flamengo’s rout of Grêmio

The series Jogada de Risco, which shows the fictional behind-the-scenes world of Brazilian football, had some contribution from Flamengo. That is because producer and actor Cauã Reymond said he used the Rubro-Negro thrashing of Grêmio in 2019 as a study reference for the show.

— I was studying for Jogada de Risco. I had never been to the Maracanã. Then I was invited by a friend of mine, who is a football agent, to go. It was Grêmio and Flamengo, in the 2019 Libertadores semifinal. And Grêmio were already losing 4–0 — the artist said on the ‘Charla Podcast’, and added:

— Before long, 70,000 people started shouting: ‘Hey, Renato, go f*** yourself!’. And the coach, sitting there on the bench, got up, went to the edge of the pitch, crossed his arms and started staring back — said Cauã, who plays the lead character Maurício in the series.

How did Flamengo’s rout help Cauã?

— Yeah, but I went there to study, right? I wanted to see what the whole scene was like, what the VIP box was like, how the people behind the scenes dressed, because football itself we already know, right? — said the actor, who continued:

— I wanted to see the shirt, the sneakers, you know? Who was cocky, who wasn’t, who was tough, who wasn’t, who was showing off without being anybody, who was powerful but staying quiet... That interests me a lot in drama, you know? There are several archetypes there — he said.

What happened in that match between Flamengo and Grêmio?

Mengão and Grêmio had drawn 1–1 in the first leg of the 2019 Libertadores semifinal. Despite the home result, the team coached at the time by Renato Gaúcho came away feeling confident after holding off Jorge Jesus’ side.

At the Maracanã, however, the southern team barely got a touch of the ball and lost 5–0. At one point in the match, Grêmio’s players asked Flamengo’s players to stop. As a result, Fla advanced to the tournament final, which ended with the Rubro-Negro lifting the title.

Does Flamengo appear in Cauã Reymond’s series?

However, Fla’s involvement in Jogada de Risco was indirect, since the show features fictional teams. One of the clubs, for example, is called Atlântico Futebol e Regatas. The club are Rio state champions and wear black and gold, colors that resemble Peñarol (URU).
