Barueri players reveal bonus from another club for beating Flamengo

Striker and goalkeeper of the Greater São Paulo club admit alleged "white bag" from Cruzeiro

By - in
In a radio interview after the match against Flamengo, Val Baiano, the Grêmio Barueri forward who scored one of the team's goals in the 2-0 victory over the Rio de Janeiro club, admitted that the team had received a bonus from Cruzeiro as an extra incentive for the São Paulo team to work hard in the match against the red-and-black team. "Cruzeiro gave us this bonus, but regardless of this money from Cruzeiro, we always go in to win," confirmed the forward.

With the victory on Wednesday night (28/10), Barueri allowed Cruzeiro to overtake Flamengo in the standings - the Minas Gerais team, in a game also on Wednesday night, would end up defeating Santo André, equaling Flamengo in points, but with an advantage in the tiebreaker criterion. The information gained repercussion in the early hours of this Thursday morning (29/10), from a post by journalist Conrado Giulietti on the ESPN Brasil website.

In the same interview audio, without mentioning Cruzeiro, Barueri goalkeeper Renê, shortly before Val Baiano's testimony, explicitly mentions a "white bag" to disrupt Flamengo's life: "We're waiting. The end of the year is here, we want to fatten our account," said the goalkeeper, who reveals he has the same expectations for the match against São Paulo. According to the goalkeeper, Barueri's players would have gone ahead regardless of the financial incentive to avoid the risk of relegation. "We'll always do our part, regardless of any help," Renê concluded.
