Fans make surprise gesture towards Plata as Flamengo head to Argentina | OneFootball

What happened with Plata during Flamengo's departure this Monday (27)?

Gonzalo Plata was involved in controversy last Sunday (26) when a photo of him at an event in Rio de Janeiro was leaked. Despite this situation, Flamengo fans left the matter aside and supported the forward as the team departed for Argentina this Monday (27).

About ten fans were present and closely followed the departure of the players from Rio de Janeiro to Buenos Aires. When it was Plata's turn, the fans shouted the Ecuadorian's name, and one of them even sent a message: “Go get them (referring to the match against Racing-ARG).”

WHAT HAPPENED WITH PLATA, FLAMENGO'S FORWARD?

Plata divided opinions after being seen enjoying his day off at an event in Rio de Janeiro. Even though the players had last Sunday (26) free, some fans did not like seeing the Ecuadorian at the venue. On the other hand, some fans did not criticize the player's actions.

Amidst this, Plata ended up responding to some portals that reported the news. In his explanation, the Ecuadorian said he took advantage of the day off to take his family to enjoy the day in Rio de Janeiro, as they had just arrived from a trip.
