📹 Is the love lost? Fortaleza fans call Deyverson a clown
The Fortaleza fans who went to the Castelão Arena, on this Tuesday (12), were not at all satisfied with the 0 x 0 score against Vélez Sarsfield, for the first leg of the round of 16 of the Conmebol Libertadores 2025. And this became evident when Deyverson "joked" in front of the Argentine marking, something he had done before, when he played for Atlético-MG, against River Plate. But this time, the Laion crowd shouted "clown" at the 34-year-old striker.
