Casagrande says goodbye to Rita Lee: “I love you”

Big house said goodbye to Rita Lee on his social networks this Tuesday afternoon, the 9th. The former player, who never tired of praising the singer throughout her career in the music world, published a photo alongside one of the greatest artists in the history of Brazilian rock . It is worth mentioning that the former athlete even called one of his goals with the name of the rocker.

In his publication, Casagrande recalled a remarkable phrase in Rita Lee’s career and did not hide all his love for the singer. According to the commentator, she was responsible for putting “skirts on this Rock and Roll guy”. In the photo, the star appears alongside the music in one of the most symbolic captures of Corinthians democracy.

YOU WERE THE WOMAN WHO PUT SKIRTS ON THIS ROCK AND ROLL… LOVE YOU, KISS!“, he wrote.

And the “Gol Rita Lee”?

For those who don’t remember, in 1982, in the final of the Paulista Championship between São Paulo and Corinthians, Casagrande left his mark and, in a statement given in 2021, recalled the goal that was dubbed by him with the name of the Corinthians rocker. It is worth remembering that that match ended 3-1 for Timão and with the singer at the stadium. Hence the name ‘Gol Rita Lee’.

The only goal I named in my life was Rita Lee’s goal, in the 1982 final. I’m a big fan of Rita Lee. I want to blow her a kiss because we’re both black sheep in the family”, said the commentator when he was still working at Globo, in May 2021.

Rita Lee’s relationship with Corinthians!

Rita Lee, one of the biggest names in Brazilian music, died last Monday, the 8th, at the age of 75. The singer was surrounded by her family at her residence in the city of São Paulo, as informed by the note released on social networks. The “queen of Brazilian rock” was treating lung cancer, which had been diagnosed in 2021.

In addition to having made history in the Brazilian music scene, Rita Lee also had a remarkable participation in the sports universe, mainly with her favorite team, the Corinthians. Although she was also considered a supporter of the International by some, his connection with Alvinegro Paulista went beyond the four lines of the pitch.
