Felipe Melo to sent-off Flamengo player: "You’ve won nothing yet" | OneFootball

Former Midfielder Felipe Melo Claims He Was Quiet During His Youth

Wallace Yan came on during Flamengo's defeat to Bahia on Sunday (05). However, the 20-year-old spent 11 minutes on the field, received two yellow cards, and was sent off. Thus, former player Felipe Melo criticized the athlete's behavior.

— When he (Wallace Yan) got the yellow card, Jorginho and Bruno Henrique approached him and asked him to calm down. He had been out of play for a while. Then he plays today, spends 11 minutes on the field, and gets sent off like that. He needs to get his head straight because he hasn't arrived yet, hasn't achieved anything. It's very difficult to make it to the professional level at Flamengo -, stated Felipe Melo.

Are You Lying, Felipe Melo?

— With how many athletes has he already caused trouble? It's time to show humility. In my youth, I would rise up and stay quiet. They would tell me to shut up, and I would stay quiet. Especially now, playing in a star-studded squad like Flamengo, having this opportunity. He has quality, but he will lose opportunities because of this -, added the former midfielder during the ‘Fechamento SporTV’ program.

Felipe Melo was widely known for violent and unsportsmanlike actions. At times, the midfielder even fought off the field. The former athlete once argued over the phone with journalist PVC, who was live.
