Corinthians fans say CBF favour Flamengo before Supercopa | OneFootball

Corinthians Will Play One Day After Flamengo Before the Super Cup

The complaints from the state of São Paulo against Flamengo started early. After Abel Ferreira from Palmeiras lamented the non-expulsion of Pulgar in the Libertadores, now it's Corinthians' turn to complain. The opponent of Mengão in the Super Cup believes that the CBF schedule in the Brasileirão favored the Rubro-Negro.

Flamengo and Corinthians will face each other in Brasília for the Super Cup on February 1st. In the detailed schedule of the Brasileirão published this Tuesday (13th), the CBF determined that Mengão will play São Paulo on Wednesday (28th), and Corinthians will face Bahia on Thursday (29th). In other words, the São Paulo team claims that Mengo will have one more day of rest before the final.

“ONE MORE DAY! Flamengo with one more day of rest/preparation for the Super Cup of Brazil on February 1st. 'That's just right' (sic), CBF. The Corinthians board SHOULD NOT accept it. Simple as that,” wrote Vessoni, an important influencer who writes for the alvinegro team's fans, on social media.

WHAT DID THE RUBRO-NEGROS RESPOND?

In the comments, of course, the Nation did not forgive and mocked. However, a sensible Corinthians fan pointed out that Flamengo will travel to face São Paulo, as the debut in the Brasileirão will be at Morumbi. On the other hand, Corinthians will host Bahia at Neo Química Arena. In other words, they won't have the fatigue of flying, for example. “Let's stop whining, and look, I'm a Corinthians fan,” he concluded.

The rubro-negros joked. “Oh, already crying,” said one. “Clearly a plot for Flamengo to win the Champions Super Cup League,” another mocked. “Funny that in the last game between the teams, Flamengo came from a midweek game in the Libertadores, and you guys had a week of training and… Lost,” concluded a rubro-negro, recalling the most recent clash in the Brasileirão.

HAS THE WHINING 2026 ALREADY STARTED IN SÃO PAULO?

If Corinthians can't get Flamengo out of their minds now in January, there are people in São Paulo who haven't forgotten Mengão since 2025. In a press conference last week, Abel Ferreira, Palmeiras' coach, still complained about the refereeing regarding the non-expulsion of Erick Pulgar in the Libertadores final.

— A team is not only made of good players, it's made of experience, cunning, demands, and that's what we want this year. We learned last year. Even VAR learned, you saw. I don't know if the VAR in the Libertadores was different from this one. But it's very sad when there's a much worse incident than what happened, and VAR does its job, but in a Libertadores final, with supposedly top VAR, and top referee —, Abel ironized, referring to a player's expulsion from Portuguesa against Palmeiras.

WHEN WILL FLAMENGO VS CORINTHIANS BE, IN THE SUPER CUP?

The Super Cup of Brazil takes place at 4 PM (Brasília time), at the Mané Garrincha Stadium, in the federal capital. Flamengo will be seeking their fourth championship in the tournament, while Corinthians will aim for their second. The Coluna do Fla, of course, will be at the venue providing the best coverage.
