Coach Filipe Luís commented on the expulsion of Wallace Yan after Flamengo's 1-0 defeat to Bahia. In his statement, the coach highlighted the quality of the forward but did not spare criticism at the end of this Sunday's (05) match.
— Wallace Yan has been training very well, he has already shown the quality he has. But I have to say that today he made a very serious mistake and it hurt us. But he is still very young. I haven't talked to him yet, but this is what I need to improve in the team. That he always maintains balance on the field -, he declared, before concluding:
— I thought of him today with the goal of gaining speed and attacking the spaces to try to break through Bahia's defense. I believed he could create space. Then his expulsion happened and complicated everything -, concluded Filipe Luís.
Wallace Yan started as an option on Flamengo's bench. However, Filipe Luís called the forward and put him on the field towards the end of the second half. In just a few minutes, however, the player ended up being expelled after an arm to the face of Gilberto from Bahia.
It's important to note that Wallace Yan had just regained an opportunity after a long period. Now, due to the expulsion, the forward will be absent from Flamengo in the next match of the Brasileirão.
Without Wallace Yan, Flamengo returns to the field on October 15 to face Botafogo at 7:30 PM (Brasília time) at Engenhão. Thus, Coluna do Fla TV, as usual, will provide the most Flamengo-centric coverage on the internet on YouTube.
