Flamengo boss sends message to two squad players | OneFootball

Bruno Pivetti commented on Wallace Yan and Evertton Araújo

Flamengo drew 3-3 with Mirassol last Saturday (06), in the interior of São Paulo, in the final round of the Brazilian Championship. After the match, U-20 coach Bruno Pivetti commented on which youth players have a spot in the main team.

— Regarding the players who are already with the professional squad, they are already a reality. Wallace Yan, Evertton Araújo, who also came from the youth academy. They are two players who came up through the Flamengo youth ranks, — began coach Bruno Pivetti.

— Against Mirassol, they managed to make that step up. Wallace is an 05, and will age out next year. I see players with enormous potential to continue at this high level and maintain this standard of performance — he concluded.

HOW ARE THE TWO PLAYERS DOING?

Wallace Yan emerged this season by scoring important goals in the Campeonato Carioca and even in the Club World Cup. However, the forward has lost ground, as he is now an option behind Pedro and Bruno Henrique, for example.

On the other hand, Evertton Araújo has faced tough competition in the midfield at Flamengo. That's because the young player from the red-black youth system is competing for a spot with Erick Pulgar, Jorginho, Saúl Ñíguez, and Allan.

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO PLAY?

Thus, Flamengo leaves the Brazilian Championship behind and focuses on the Intercontinental Cup. O Mais Querido will face Cruz Azul (MEX) on Wednesday (10), at 2pm (Brasília time), in Doha, in a match valid for the quarterfinals of the tournament.
