Flamengo legend slams player's display against Vasco | OneFootball

For Maestro Junior, Leonardo Jardim should have used Danilo instead of Wallace Yan

Flamengo’s performance against Vasco on Sunday (03) is still a topic of debate. As a result, former player Maestro Junior criticized Leonardo Jardim’s decision to bring Wallace Yan off the bench instead of Danilo late in the match at the Maracanã.

— It’s not a bad thing at all to put the team into a defensive phase when the opponent is putting you under pressure. Leonardo Jardim, instead of Wallace Yan, could have brought on Danilo. Make it a back three with good headers of the ball and break the opponent’s momentum,” analyzed the commentator, who added:

— Then he brought on Wallace, who came into a difficult moment in the game, with play already stretched, and the kid practically got everything wrong. He couldn’t defend or keep hold of the ball. It’s tough,” Junior said during “Seleção Sportv.”

What did Wallace Yan do against Vasco?

Wallace Yan came on in the final minutes of the match in place of Pedro. The young forward, however, was involved in six actions with the ball and miscontrolled it three times. In addition, the player lost possession on three occasions during the 14th round of the Brasileirão.

Will Wallace Yan be in Flamengo’s next game?

Leonardo Jardim decided not to include the youngster in the squad for the match against Independiente Medellín (COL) this Thursday (07), for technical reasons. After all, the Rubro-Negro side did not report any injury to the forward.

Flamengo face Independiente Medellín this Thursday (07) starting at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) in Colombia, in the fourth round of Group A of the Libertadores. The match will be broadcast on ESPN (pay TV) and Disney+ (streaming).
