What a shambles! Renata Fan calls ‘silver rain’ before Flamengo “pathetic” | OneFootball

International Fired Two Employees and Still Risks Being Punished

The shower of confetti caused by Internacional on Wednesday (20) became a joke among rivals and fans as well. This is because presenter Renata Fan, a supporter of the Gaúcho team, used the term "pathetic" to define the incident before the game against Flamengo in the round of 16 of the Libertadores.

— Pathetic! Who had this idea, who authorized this idea? Whoever created this spectacle did something pathetic. That's my opinion -, said Renata Fan during the Jogo Aberto program, on Band, on Thursday (21). The presenter had a serious face and an angry tone of voice at the time of the statement.

What's the context?

Before the ball rolled on Wednesday, the club mistakenly activated a shower of confetti, which delayed the match by 20 minutes. However, the next day, the club admitted that it had planned a party in case of qualification, but that the intention was never to release the silver material on the field at that moment.

Whose idea was it?

Facing the incident, Internacional fired two employees from the social relations sector who would be responsible for the 'silver shower'. In fact, due to the episode, Conmebol is evaluating a possible punishment for the Gaúchos.

Did Flamengo joke?

After qualifying at Beira-Rio, Flamengo's attacker Gonzalo Plata made a play on words with his own name and the confetti. "Shower of Plata", said the player with a smile. This is because the Ecuadorian gave an assist to Arrascaeta in the first goal against Internacional.
