the presenter Renata Fanof Open gamegot into a controversy with the fans of the Corinthians this Thursday, 20th. When making a provocation to the journalist Chico Garcia because of the result of the final of the Copa do Brasil, the gaúcha said that cheering for Timão “does not suit him”, as he is not a “maloqueiro”.
“I warned you: stop, Chico, you don’t match [com o Corinthians], you are not a maloqueiro. You’re a studied guy, a multi-purpose guy. Then you wanted to become a Corinthians fan just to please your wife”, said Renata Fan. Ronaldo Giovanelli, former goalkeeper of the São Paulo club, answered the presenter. “What is the problem? What’s wrong with being a Corinthians fan?”asked the former player.
On social networks, the repercussion of Renata’s speech was not good. The statement was considered prejudiced, due to the association to support Corinthians and the lack of study. Fans criticized the way the presenter related being a Corinthians fan and being a “maloqueiro”.
Renata Fan’s interaction with Chico Garcia was due to the journalist’s wife, Mila Alves, who is from Corinthians. Therefore, the member of Jogo Aberto, who is admittedly a grêmio, revealed to support Corinthians at certain times thanks to his beloved. The couple even has a daughter, Luna, who has had photos published wearing Timão’s shirt.
