The atmosphere off the pitch was tense in the semi-final of the Campeonato Carioca, especially on the red and black side. Flamengo's director of external relations, Cacau Cotta, criticized Fluminense defender Felipe Melo.
< p>During an interview with the influencer "Paparazzo Rubro-Negro", the manager called the tricolor defender a coward, claiming that he had tried to punch striker Pedro in a move during last Saturday's Fla-Flu.– Coward, right? I know a little about this. In MMA, it is a punch known as “snake kill”, which is when the guy jumps and punches from top to bottom. There is this, anyone who knows knows what I'm talking about. He (Felipe Melo) did this against Pedro – he said, continuing:
– The referee thinks he tried to take the lead. He took the lead, started the movement with a closed hand and ends with an open hand, which is natural. This doesn't appear in fights because fighters wear gloves. Felipe Melo, as a player, needs to worry about his image. He is giving off an image of being cowardly and weak. If he trains to fight, he should retire from football.
FELIPE MELO SAYS FLUMINENSE WAS SUPERIOR TO FLAMENGO BEFORE THE EXPULSIONLast Saturday night (9), Flamengo faced Fluminense in a match valid for the Carioca semi-finals. Rubro Negro dominated the Laranjeiras team and won by the score of 2-0. However, for Felipe Melo, Flu was superior to Mais Querido.
"In the first half, Flamengo created a lot, but until the After the expulsion, Fluminense was much better. The game was shaping up to be a possible draw, and after the expulsion we had to run like hell and score. Unfortunately, we conceded a goal at the end. We already demonstrated in Carioca last year that we can. We know it's very difficult , but working in silence is the best thing we have at the moment", said Felipe Melo.

In an election year, behind the scenes of Flamengo are boiling. This last Thursday (1), the club's vice-president of communication between 2015 and 2018, Antonio Tabet, criticized the stance of the current red-black directors in celebrating the victory in the auction to purchase the Gasologista land, where the stadium will be built Dearest. However, Cacau Cotta, current director of external relations, countered.
“Rodrigo Dunshee's stance next to Landim makes others feel very ashamed. If it weren't comical, it would make you depressed, it's so sad. It looks like a pet dressed like its owner. That stupid nephew wanting to appear in the adult photo. All awkward, poor thing. He doesn't know where he's looking, what face he's making, whether he's giving a thumbs up or a “V” for victory. Then he stumbles... Look... it's sad. And there are those who think he could be president of Flamengo. Frankly…”.
COCOA“While we work and achieve, your envy and repression is notorious and transparent! Keep living your life as a clown and we will continue working for the Flamengo institution, which is above everything and everyone!”.
TABET“Do you think you offend an actor by calling him? the clown one? You're mistaken. I would be offended if you called me ignorant, sycophantic, incompetent, nepotistic or someone who uses the club as a springboard for political life, overpricing scores or slush funds. But that's not our case, is it? And another: the conversation here is about your boss (Dunshee). Let him answer for himself. Just ask him not to make the wrong Twitter account if he has more than one.”
REASON FOR THE FIGHTOn social media, Tabet posted a link to a video of the president of Mais Querido, where he talked to organized fans about purchasing the land. Alongside the president were Rodrigo Dunshee (legal vice), Marcos Braz (VP of football) and Diogo Lemos (VP of the presidential office). Thus, Tabet ridicules Dunshee's stance in the crowd.
