NETO IS NOT SPARING CRITICISM OF THE CORINTHIANS TEAM AND SAYS: "IF YOU GET FLAMENGO, THEY TAKE 8X1"

The ex -star Neto, today presenter and commentator, did another one of his. After Corinthians drew 1-1 with Racing (URU) in the Copa Sulamericana, the folkloric player spared no criticism of the black and white team from São Paulo. In an outburst on Band's Os Donos da Bola program, Neto revealed a fear about Corinthians' future that involves Flamengo.

For Neto, Corinthians is not ready to face the big clubs in the Brazilian Championship. The commentator stated: “I'm scared of what comes next! My God, imagine playing Flamengo at Maracanã. It will be 8 to 1! Or Inter in Beira Rio! Take it on all fours! Or Grêmio at the Arena, five more!”

To the relief of the former player, Corinthians debuts in the 2024 Brazilian Championship at home, against Atlético-MG. The clash with Flamengo is scheduled for the sixth round, at Maracnã, on May 11th. Will Neto's biggest fear come true?

Flamengo has a wide advantage over Corinthians in recent clashes

Neto is right to fear a clash between Flamengo and Corinthians. Rubro-Negro has exercised broad favoritism in clashes between the two clubs in recent times. In the last 16 games, since 2019, there have been ten wins for Fla, two wins for Timão and four draws.

Overall, Flamengo also has an advantage. In 151 games, Rubro-Negro managed 62 wins against Corinthians' 55 and 34 draws. In terms of goals, Fla players have scored 231 times against Corinthians 216 goals.
