Craque Neto is a former Corinthians midfielder who became one of Brazilian football television's most outspoken pundits, best known as presenter of Os Donos da Bola. His passionate rants about Corinthians form, results and board decisions are frequently clipped by fans and shared on social media and messaging apps. The phrase que fase, meaning what a phase, sums up a team stuck in a bad run, and rival fans especially enjoy reusing Neto's own words against his club. The clip survives because Brazilian football culture recycles pundit outbursts for every new slump.
