Protagonist of one of the most iconic moments of Flamengo 's campaign to win the 2020 Brazilian Championship, Edenilson was once again the talk of the town among the red-blacks this Sunday (13). Now at Grêmio, the midfielder was a starter in the 2-0 defeat to Mais Querido, and ended up becoming the target of a good-natured provocation on the Rio de Janeiro club's social media.
During live coverage of the match, Flamengo's official profile on X (formerly Twitter) wrote:
The post quickly went viral and surpassed 1 million views , easily surpassing even the game's closing post, which had less than 200 thousand views.
The fans' reference to "that" Edenilson comes from the last round of the 2020 Brasileirão . At the time, Internacional , the midfielder's club at the time, needed to beat Corinthians to be champion, since Flamengo had been defeated by São Paulo.
In the final minutes of the match, Edenilson scored and celebrated effusively, taking off his shirt. During the broadcast, commentator Gustavo Villani shouted: “ EDENILSOOOOOON, 41 YEARS OLD !”, alluding to Inter's drought in the national competition. However, the goal was disallowed for offside, and Flamengo ended up securing their eighth championship .
Interestingly, Edenilson also had a direct role in Sunday's result . Just three minutes into the game, he deflected a pass from Michael and ended up putting Arrascaeta in a good position to open the scoring on the rebound . He then received a yellow card and was booed when he left the field in the second half.
At the end of the match, he still complained about a possible penalty in a play with Gerson:
“Unfortunately, we had a penalty there that could at least have been reviewed . If there is a VAR tool, it should be reviewed. In the game against Fortaleza, they reviewed it and gave a penalty. It was a touch on the arm,” said the Grêmio player.
Flamengo, who had already faced Internacional in the opening match of the Brasileirão and defeated Grêmio this Sunday, will face another opponent from Rio Grande do Sul in the next round. Filipe Luís' team will host Juventude on Wednesday (16), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã.
Victory over Internacional in the Libertadores puts Mengão above the main teams in European football, such as the Spanish team and the French champions.
