The scene went viral and was widely celebrated by Vasco’s fans. The outcome being favorable to the Corinthians, the Dutchman decided to react.
On social networks, Memphis reposted a video in which he appears to be provoked by the Vasco midfielder, followed by another movement in which Cauan Barros is dribbled by Breno Bidon.
In the caption, Timão’s number 10 joked: “Get up 🤣🤣🏆🏆. Oh, this boy cooked“, an expression in English that can be translated as “this boy was humiliated“.
In another publication, he provoked again by praising his teammate. “Here you have to be humble. We don’t make small talk. Breno Bidon, you are different. You’ve made the boy famous now. Get up now“, he wrote.
The provocation was not limited to the networks. Taking part in the Podpah podcast, other Corinthians players also commented on the episode. Matheuzinho called Cauan Barros ‘lazy’ when remembering the Memphis deal, while Hugo Souza and Raniele joked when talking about the Vasco midfielder.
