Corinthians idol admits envy of Flamengo’s Libertadores triumph | OneFootball

Flamengo wins their fourth Libertadores, surprising Corinthians and São Paulo fans

Flamengo’s fourth Libertadores title even moved their rivals. That’s because TV host Neto, idol of Corinthians, revealed he was ‘jealous’ of Flamengo’s greatness this Monday (01).

— Every now and then I feel a bit jealous of Flamengo, that feeling from when I used to play (…) but Flamengo is huge, man. Flamengo is one of the biggest teams in the world, dude,” said Neto, who added:

— It’s impressive how big Flamengo is, what these guys have done, how many people showed up, how many people were in Rio de Janeiro. Man, it’s crazy. What an incredible thing. It’s amazing what Flamengo has been doing in recent years,” said the Band host on the show Os Donos da Bola.

Did the other participants agree with Neto?

Neto made these statements in front of Souza, a São Paulo idol, and Veloso, a Palmeiras icon. The former agreed and added that Flamengo deserved the Libertadores for never giving up, while the Palmeiras fan nodded in silence.

— Seven or eight years ago, Flamengo owed 700 million. It was an unpayable debt. But they turned it around. Go ahead and play Flamengo’s anthem,” said Neto, asking for the volume of the red-and-black anthem to be turned up.

How did Flamengo win the Libertadores?

Filipe Luís’ squad beat Palmeiras 1-0 with a goal from Danilo, who rose unmarked to head in a corner taken by Arrascaeta. The team coached by Abel Ferreira, however, didn’t take a single shot on goal against goalkeeper Rossi.
