Peruvian paper irked by Flamengo taunts after win over Cusco | OneFootball

“Flamengo proclaims the true Emperor of America,” says Líbero

Flamengo’s online behavior after the win in Peru bothered some sectors in the country. That is because, on Wednesday (08), Mengão defeated Cusco (PER) in the Libertadores. As a result, Fla decided to make a joke on social media that upset Peruvians.

“The Brazilians mocked their opponents and even the historic Inca Empire. Furthermore, by proclaiming themselves the true emperor of the continent, they downplay the importance of the renowned Inca Empire, even though it was all just a joke,” highlighted a report by Peru’s Líbero portal.

But what exactly did Flamengo do?

“Cusco didn’t need to come down from the altitude to receive a lesson in humility. They witnessed the wave of the true emperor of America,” says the caption accompanying a frame from Disney’s animated film The Emperor’s New Groove.

See the rubro-negro post:

The protagonist of the children’s feature film is called ‘Kuzco.’ The character is an arrogant emperor who rules the Inca Empire, a pre-Peruvian civilization. So, Fla played with the plot of the 2000 animation.

Going to complain about Flamengo, Cusco?

Despite the joke, the Rubro-Negro put in a great performance in the 2-0 win over the Peruvian team at 3,400 meters above sea level. Idols Bruno Henrique and Arrascaeta scored the goals in the first round of the Libertadores Group A, led by Mengão.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

The “Emperor of America” faces Fluminense this Saturday (11), in the 11th round of the Brasileirão. Kickoff is at 6:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at the Maracanã. Therefore, Coluna do Fla will provide full coverage.
