“Hey, brother. How are you? Here… take the jersey,” said Evertton Araújo, while hugging Gerson. “I can’t, brother. I can’t, I just can’t… da***,” replied the Cruzeiro player after the match at Maracanã.

But why would Gerson refuse the Sacred Mantle?

The midfielder’s refusal is explained by the fact that he had already promised to swap jerseys with Bruno Henrique and Ayrton Lucas. The trio made the exchange in the stadium’s internal tunnels, where cameras didn’t catch the scene. This information comes from ‘GE’.

How did Flamengo treat Gerson?

Every time the midfielder touched the ball, the red-black fans booed the player. Furthermore, the fans expelled the midfielder’s father from Maraca Mais, the privileged section of the sports arena. Thus, the agent stated that the situation is related to skin color.

— People stopped celebrating the club’s victory just to curse at me, to be hostile, to do all sorts of bad things to me. They’re not complaining about what I did or didn’t do. They’re complaining about my work and about who I am. Unfortunately, some individuals can’t accept the place that a Black person is in. They can’t accept it — said Marcão after Cruzeiro’s defeat.

A beautiful day for Flamengo?

With three points earned in the fifth round, Flamengo faces Botafogo starting at 8:30 pm (Brasília time). The match takes place this Saturday (14) at Estádio Nilton Santos, for the sixth round of the Brasileirão.

Thus, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match between Flamengo and Botafogo through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, the match will be streamed live on Prime Video.
