In Morocco, Zico criticizes Flamengo’s performance and video with ‘message’ to Real

In Morocco, where he traveled as a FIFA guest to accompany the Club World Cup, Zico spoke about Flamengo’s elimination from the tournament. Just like the fans, the club’s biggest idol didn’t like what he saw. He even mentions the participation of the arbitration, but believes that the performance of the red-black team itself was the determining factor for the defeat to Al-Hilal, from Saudi Arabia, by 3 to 2.

“Nobody expected, due to the strength of the team, due to the quality, except that they were not prepared for this type of game. They did not play well. Even with refereeing errors. If Flamengo were Flamengo, they would overcome all of this”, said Zico to journalist Helder Martins , from the S1 Live channel.

“I don’t think Flamengo was Flamengo on the field. Many problems made that happen. I’m not here to cut anyone’s head, but I didn’t see Flamengo happy, happy, with that spirit”.

In Morocco since the beginning of the week, Zico walked through the streets after Tuesday’s game. And he was not oblivious to the episode that dominated the provocations against Flamengo: the video in which vice president Marcos Braz and some athletes sing “Real Madrid, you can wait, your time will come”. The record was recorded shortly after the conquest of the LIbertadores de América. The idol disapproved of the singing.

“The fans sing, that’s fine. I don’t see a problem. What a professional can’t do that, especially for a team like Real. Flamengo is only at this level because of two sales to Real. a great squad. The departure of Vini Jr and Reinier paid off. Above all, I had to respect Real, who praised Flamengo and respected. The man up there has hours to give back”.
