A very curious scene took over social networks and sports news this Tuesday (5). For the Brazilian Under-17 Championship, Flamengo faced Atlético-MG at Estádio da Gávea, and thrashed by the score of 5 x 1. As the structure of the place is undergoing renovations, the stands cannot receive the presence of the public.
However, a group of employees who are working on a project near the stadium took advantage of the game to take a break. As most of those present are Flamengo supporters, the small and authentic crowd took the opportunity to vibrate a lot with each goal scored.
With the result, the Flamengo team rose to 14 points and now occupies the 3rd place in the Brasileirão Under-17, behind leader Corinthians, and vice Fluminense, with 15 points each. There was no shortage of comments on the internet about the peculiarity of the event.
There is no way, the capitalist system wants to take everything that belongs to the people, but football is always popular, if there are no changes, they will take people out of the stadiums, and that way it will be just theater, just watch Flamengo games lately clapping hands and flashlights

Amount charged for tickets to the Copa do Brasil final is criticized in a post
Currently, one of the biggest criticisms leveled at the club’s current president, Rodolfo Landim, is the ticket pricing policy for Flamengo games. The team will play in the finals of the Copa do Brasil, against São Paulo, with the first game at the Maracanã Stadium.
For those who are not members, the club stipulated a price considered absurd by the fans. The cheapest ticket costs R$400.00, and the most expensive stands can cost R$1500, which is higher than the minimum wage.
Taking advantage of the moment provided in the stands of Gávea this Tuesday, Flamengo fans did not let the opportunity pass, and reminded the board of dissatisfaction with the prices charged.
If you mess up, they charge a ticket at the end
