Corinthians pundit mocks Flamengo’s UN bid: “Parallel world” | OneFootball

Flamengo Continues to Make Rival Fans Jealous

The Flamengo fans were surprised last Tuesday (09) with an unusual request from the club: signatures for a petition for the Nation to be recognized by the UN (United Nations Organization). While the decision was well-received by Mengão, the news was not well accepted among rivals. Commentator and fan of Corinthians, ‘Mano’ mocked the situation.

— The Flamengo fan is kind of a lunatic, living in this parallel world thinking that only Flamengo exists. Soon they might create a galaxy: “I am Flamengo and I want to emancipate from planet Earth”. Flamengo fans are kind of crazy, right? They believe in their own lie. So I think they will want to invent the next step on planet Flamengo. The red and black ET, go figure -, said Mano, during the ‘Arena SBT’.

What is Flamengo's Idea?

Flamengo boasts the largest fan base in world football, with numbers growing each year. According to recent surveys, the red and black fans gather more than 45 million supporters. Thus, if it were a country, the Most Beloved would be the 36th largest nation in the world by population.

The campaign aims to engage the immense red and black fan base around a symbolic movement, which translates what is already a reality: the cultural, social, and emotional strength of Flamengo transcends borders. Thus, the Most Beloved intends to become the first “symbolic-cultural nation” on the planet, with Zico as ‘king’ and Adriano as ‘emperor’.

How to Participate in the Signature?

In two days of campaigning, Flamengo gathered over 400,000 signatures. Now, the goal of the Most Beloved is to reach 500,000 by the end of this week. Therefore, the fan is invited to expand the count through the site peticao.flamengo.com.br. So, participate and call the red and blacks.

When Does Flamengo Play?

Meanwhile, Filipe Luís's team remains focused on the next commitments of the season. Flamengo returns to the field this Sunday (14) to face Juventude, at 4 PM (Brasília time), at Alfredo Jaconi, for the 23rd round of the Brasileirão. As usual, Coluna do Fla will provide full coverage of the game.
