Fan who snubbed Evertton Araújo at Flamengo game speaks out | OneFootball

Flamengo had Evertton Araújo in the starting lineup against Bahia in the Brasileirão

Before the ball started rolling for Flamengo and Bahia, some Rubro-Negro players were approached by fans at the Maracanã to take photos. Broadcasts then showed a Flamengo fan supposedly snubbing Evertton Araújo, but the fan denies being rude.

— Man, that’s really messed up, dude. Because that’s not what happened, you know? People come up with their own version of what they think happened, they make clips. Man, if you go back a little, the video shows me calling Evertton Araújo over to take a photo, man -, said the Flamengo fan, who added:

— It’s just that I’m terrible at taking selfies, always have been. I was in a rush there trying to take pictures with as many people as possible. I would never do that shit. Man, even if I didn’t like Evertton Araújo — which isn’t the case — I would never do that -, he said in an audio recorded in a fans’ group on WhatsApp.
