Journalist Marília Ruiz made her prediction for the Brazilian Super Cup final between Flamengo and Corinthians during her participation on CNN Brasil’s Domingol program.
According to her, Timão should win the title with a narrow victory.
“Look, I think Corinthians will be 1-0. Suffering. For a change”, declared Marília, highlighting that the teams’ preparation for this decision was quite different.
The journalist explained that she is at a different stage of physical preparation: “It’s a late start for Flamengo’s main squad. Preparation for the season and not for this match.”
On the other hand, Corinthians seems to have directed its efforts specifically towards this final: “Unlike Corinthians, who seem to have spared themselves every possible and imaginable game. They don’t have a squad to form two teams so far.”
Financial contrast between the finalists
During the debate in , the financial contrast between the two finalist clubs was highlighted.
While enjoying a comfortable economic situation, Corinthians faces financial difficulties, which was characterized as “the victory of the poor against the billionaires” and “today it is the victory of those who owe money against those who are swimming in rivers of money”.
For Marília Ruiz, winning this title would have a special meaning for Corinthians, representing the “crowning of the recovery of self-esteem” of the club, which last year eliminated Palmeiras and was champion of the Copa do Brasil, on a path of recovery after difficult moments.
