Flamengo and Fluminense faced each other last Tuesday, the 16th, at Maracanã, for the Copa do Brasil, and the classic was marked by a series of provocations
Fluminense It is Flamengo it is always a disputed game with good chances for both sides, but it has the characteristic of being the classic with the most provocations in the country. Last Tuesday, the 16th, the teams faced each other in the first leg of Brazil’s Cup and continued with that label. Felipe Melo, Gabigol It is Marcelo they were the athletes who drew the most attention in terms of ‘annoying’ their opponents and also the crowd present at Maracanã.
The first to call the public’s attention were Gabigol and Marcelo. In a relaxed manner, the Flamengo star appeared making a sign to the Fluminense side and pointing to the champion patch of the Copa do Brasil. The experienced tricolor player immediately just pointed to his leg, where the Champions League cup was tattooed. Both burst out laughing and the discussion caught the attention of the web.
Another provocation that was also the subject of debate on social networks involved Felipe Melo. The defender was expelled from the match between Fluminense and Flamengo in a controversial way and caused great irritation on the part of the tricolor team. Even so, he was not intimidated and, as he left the pitch, in reference to the Rio de Janeiro title he won over the Red-Blacks, he fired at his rivals: “You all are my deputy“.
It is worth mentioning that this was a response to the provocations that Flamengo fans made to him during the period in which he was on the field. In addition, on the part of the Fluminense fans, in every play that the defender beat any rival attacker, but mainly Gabigol, the tricolors made the famous “RUF-RUF”, which imitated a dog bark. The reference is because he is Flu’s ‘pitbull’.
