Danilo hits back at Maracanã protests and Flamengo fans' boos | OneFootball

Flamengo beat Cusco (PER) 3-0 at the Maracanã

After the 3-0 defeat to Palmeiras, Flamengo fans grew impatient as early as the first half against Cusco (PER). As a result, Danilo said the boos aimed at the Rubro-Negro squad on Tuesday (26) were justified, during halftime of the sixth round of Group A of the Libertadores.

— This is Flamengo. A fanbase that demands victory. It’s only right that it be this way — said the Rubro-Negro center back before the team went on to beat the Peruvians 3-0. The result meant Mengão finished the group stage with 16 points.

What is the context behind the boos aimed at Flamengo?

The Most Beloved missed the chance to close the gap on Palmeiras in the Brasileirão after Carrascal was sent off at the Maracanã. Against Cusco, however, Fla had a good first half but failed to turn the chances they created into goals.

As a result, Rubro-Negro fans became impatient and fearful of yet another embarrassment at home. However, in the final stretch of the match, goals from Bruno Henrique and Lucas Paquetá eased the pressure.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

In the absence of Danilo, who has been called up to the World Cup, Flamengo return to Brasileirão action on Saturday (30). Thus, Mengão face Coritiba at the Maracanã, starting at 4:00 p.m. (Brasília time), in the 18th round.

Therefore, Coluna do Fla will bring full coverage of the match through the website, YouTube, and other social media platforms. The match broadcast, however, will be on SporTV (subscription channel) and Premiere (pay-per-view).
