“Shameless team”: Flamengo fans protest at Maracanã, watch videos | OneFootball

Organized Raça Rubro-Negra Welcomed the Team Bus Before the Game Against Madureira

Pressure! Before the ball rolled for Flamengo and Madureira, organized fans of Flamengo staged a peaceful protest as the delegation arrived at Maracanã by bus. With banners and chants of disapproval, Raça Rubro-Negra sent a message to the athletes.

“Honor the jersey! Flamengo doesn’t need slackers”, “shameless team” and “it’s not easy. To play for Mengo you have to be willing” were some of the chants. Additionally, banners like “Incompetent coach”, “salary on time, punches missing” and “Filipe Luís and his methodologies” were part of the protest.

— The reason is the lack of commitment from the players on the field. The omission of the management, which doesn’t address this disrespect towards our jersey. It’s also against Filipe Luís, who lacks posture. Stubborn coach. He sees it’s not working and insists on the mistake. We won’t accept this. The fans are the true asset of the club, they must be respected — said one of the Raça directors, Yuri.

WAS IT THE FIRST PROTEST OF THE WEEK?

On Saturday (28), during the team’s return to Ninho do Urubu, after the Recopa defeat to Lanús (ARG), a similar protest took place. The same banners and tone of demand set the tone for the movement of the red-black fans. However, there was no violence.

DAY OF TRUCE, AFTER ALL?

Therefore, after the protests, Flamengo will have the chance to partially redeem itself later, starting at 9 PM (Brasília time), against Madureira, in the second match of the Campeonato Carioca semifinals. Having won the first leg 3-0, only a surprising defeat would eliminate the Most Beloved from the competition. The match will be broadcast on SporTV and Premiere.
