Neto cites Flamengo to slam Corinthians defence: “Unbelievable” | OneFootball

Flamengo conceded eight goals in the Brasileirão, while Corinthians received 23

For presenter Neto, Corinthians should mirror Flamengo's defense. This is because the São Paulo team lost 2-1 to Juventude on Monday (11), which outraged the Corinthian idol on Wednesday (12). The defeat left the team with 22 points, 18 less than leader Rubro-Negro in the Brasileirão.

— Football is played in a way that you have to understand. Look at Flamengo at home. Do you know how many goals Flamengo conceded at Maracanã? Two goals. Two goals, that's impressive. So, hold on. How do these guys do it? Because something different has to be done -, Neto highlighted during the program Os Donos da Bola, from Band.

What is the context?

Corinthians conceded 23 goals in 19 games so far in the Brasileirão. Therefore, Neto used terms like "dead", "nhaca", "tiriça" and "mal positioned" to define the Corinthian defense in the two goals of Juventude at Alfred Jaconi.

And Flamengo's defense?

In the Brasileirão, Flamengo has one game less than Corinthians. However, Rubro-Negro conceded only eight goals and, in fact, only two of them at home. Thus, Mais Querido is the leader with 40 points, three more than the second-placed team.

Does Corinthians want to be Flamengo?

In addition to Neto, Romeu Tuma Jr, president of the Corinthians Deliberative Council, recently stated that to overcome the financial crisis, the club needs to mirror Rubro-Negro. "Corinthians needs to turn the page and be reborn from the ashes. I want to fly with eagles, we want to be Flamengo and we will be", he highlighted.
