Corinthians idol: Yuri Alberto embarrassed after missed penalty | OneFootball

Yuri Alberto tried to ‘draw’ a penalty against Rossi

Yuri Alberto’s ‘chip shot’ during the match between Flamengo and Corinthians on Sunday (28) continues to make waves in the sports media. A club idol, former left-back Fábio Santos criticized the number 9’s attitude and revealed a conversation he had with the striker.

— I actually spoke with Yuri after the game. Obviously, he’s embarrassed, disappointed. He knows it was a poor decision, said he practiced that kind of shot and the execution was really bad — he said, before concluding:

— He’s disappointed, knows he made a mistake, posted about it after the game, and now he’s looking to bounce back. The chip shot comes with a lot of things together: irresponsibility, the magnitude of the match, vanity, wanting to stand out. And all of that is not who Yuri is — Fábio Santos concluded during the ‘ESPN’ program.

How did Yuri Alberto perform?

The penalty kick, however, was not the only unusual moment involving Yuri Alberto in the derby. After all, the number 9 found the back of the net against Mengão at the start of the second half, just two minutes in, and then broke down in tears.

After Yuri Alberto’s goal, Flamengo ‘grew’ in the game and began to control the action. Then, just ten minutes into the second half, Arrascaeta equalized for Mengão. Finally, at the 42nd minute, Luiz Araújo appeared alone on the left wing and scored for the Most Beloved.

What’s Flamengo’s next match?

Meanwhile, Flamengo begins preparations to face Cruzeiro next Thursday (02). The match will take place at 8:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the 26th round of the Campeonato Brasileiro.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will provide the best coverage on the internet, through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Flamengo vs. Cruzeiro match.
