Zico rages at Maracanã, restates who owns the stadium | OneFootball

334 is the number of goals Zico scored at the Maracanã

Something that really gets under Zico’s skin is talk about a “new Maracanã.” That’s because Flamengo’s greatest idol argues that the stadium is one of a kind. Therefore, the venue’s top scorer is only one person as well – Arthur Antunes Coimbra.

— There’s no such thing as a new Maracanã, man! Let me tell you, this “new Maracanã” is bulls**t! The Maracanã’s all-time top scorer is right in front of you: 334 goals -, Zico said on PodPah.

Why does talk about a new Maracanã annoy Zico?

Estádio Mário Filho underwent a major renovation in 2010 to host the 2014 matches. From then on, people started dividing the arena into old and new. However, the “Galinho de Quintino” sees that division as wrong, since the sporting venue was neither relocated nor demolished.

Does anyone agree with Zico?

Romário shares the same opinion, because no one can erase what the eternal number 10 did. Therefore, “Baixinho” argues that Flamengo’s greatest idol is the top scorer, period.

Therefore, for the former players, the fact that Pedro surpassed 100 goals after the renovation does not take that scoring title away from Galinho. However, the current Rubro-Negro center forward is among the ten greatest scorers in the stadium’s history.

What is Flamengo’s next match at the Maracanã?

With Pedro available, Flamengo is getting ready to make its debut in the Copa do Brasil. This Wednesday (22), Leonardo Jardim’s team faces Vitória starting at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at the Maracanã, in the first leg of the competition’s fifth round.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match between Flamengo and Vitória through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (free-to-air TV), SporTV (pay TV), and Premiere will broadcast the Copa do Brasil match.
