Winding him up! Bap gifts Palmeiras fan a Flamengo shirt signed by Danilo | OneFootball

Edgar Corona, owner of the Smart Fit gym chain, put on a Flamengo jersey

On Friday (24), Flamengo launched a gym in partnership with Smart Fit. During the opening ceremony, the club’s president Luiz Eduardo Baptista, known as Bap, presented the chain’s owner, Edgar Corona, with a Mengão jersey. One detail: the businessman supports Palmeiras, and the shirt had the autograph of Danilo, who tormented Abel Ferreira’s team in last year’s Libertadores final.

— I have a gift for you. Edgar is a Palmeiras fan, but in the Rubro-Negro house, today you’re Flamengo. The jersey has his name on it, number 10. Let me see here. Autographs from Léo Jardim, Léo Pereira, Arrascaeta, Danilo… You can take it (laughs) —, Bap joked.

Edgar took it in good spirits and even put on the Flamengo jersey. On top of that, the Smart Fit owner joked and told Lucas Paquetá to stay alert, “threatening” to steal his spot in Flamengo’s midfield. He also said that he had asked for the gift.

WHERE IS THE GYM LOCATED?

The Smart Fit Mengão gym is located at the club’s headquarters in Gávea. With 830 square meters, the facility features modern equipment, weight training, cardio, free weights, and a spa area. In addition, it offers views of Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon and Christ the Redeemer.

Even though it is inside Flamengo’s headquarters, anyone can sign up for the gym. Club members get a 10% discount. The partnership is part of the club’s strategy to expand the services offered to members, strengthen the presence of major brands in Gávea, and diversify its sources of revenue.

— Smart Fit’s arrival expands the structure and services offered at the Gávea headquarters and provides a concrete benefit to our members. It is a partnership between two brands with a strong national presence, united by sport and the promotion of quality of life —, Bap commented.

WHAT IS THE AUTHOR’S OPINION ON THE SUBJECT, AFTER ALL?

— Edgar’s attitude in receiving the Flamengo jersey was really cool. He took it as a joke, the way football should be taken. Let it serve as an example, so that fans spread more and more peace in the stadiums, on the streets, and on social media. Today, the climate of rivalry between teams is very intense. And Bap and Edgar showed how it should be —, opined Pedro Paulo Catonho, journalist for Coluna do Fla.
