Varela taunts Fluminense after Flamengo's Brasileirão win | OneFootball

Guillermo Varela took to social media to mock Fluminense

It wasn’t just Flamengo fans who used Monday (13) to make fun of the tricolors. Flamengo fullback Guillermo Varela took to social media and sent a provocative message to Fluminense, who were beaten 2-1 at the Maracanã on Sunday (12).

In a post on the Instagram stories, Varela wrote “the derby stayed at home.” In addition, the photo chosen to illustrate the post shows the Uruguayan standing and applauding at the final whistle. At the same time, Fluminense striker Rodrigo Castillo appears kneeling and looking up at the sky in a gesture of lament.

The match also serves as a kind of revenge for Flamengo against Castillo. After all, in February, the center forward was wearing the Lanus (ARG) shirt. Playing for the Argentine side, the striker scored in both matches against the Rubro-Negro in the Recopa Sudamericana, a trophy that ended up going to the ‘hermanos’.

WERE THERE MORE TAUNTS AFTER FLA-FLU?

Still on Sunday (12), Flamengo’s official page showed no mercy and mocked Fluminense. The Most Beloved reposted a 2016 message from their rivals praising a goal by Pedro, who was playing for the club from Laranjeiras at the time. The striker shined at the Maracanã with two stunners: one from ‘way out’ and another with his chest.

In addition, Flamengo posted “normal,” in reference to the line both sets of fans use to taunt each other: “winning Fla-Flu is normal.” Also at the Maracanã, the Nação sang several chants mocking the team that was beaten in the 11th round of the Brasileirão.

IS MORE TAUNTING ON THE WAY?

Now, Flamengo fans hope the good mood continues around the club. On Thursday (16), the Most Beloved face Independiente Medellín (COL) in the second round of Group A of the Copa Libertadores. Kickoff is at 9:30 p.m. Brasília time, at the Maracanã.
