Part 2/7:
The Maracanã has long been a venue for significant football matches in Brazil. However, it has also faced its share of criticism, especially from players of major local teams like Flamengo. On multiple occasions, the turf has been described as subpar due to various factors, including the frequency of matches played on it. Critics argue that the pitch suffers from excessive wear and tear, especially given that it often hosts games for multiple teams, including Flamengo, Fluminense, and the occasional Vasco showdown.
