This Friday (15), a video of Gonzalo Plata, from Flamengo, went viral on social media. That is because the player was allegedly drunk along with friends. The Rubro-Negro club, therefore, issued a statement on the matter.
“The video that has been circulating on social media and reproduced by some media outlets, in which player Gonzalo Plata appears in the company of friends, is not recent. The original post was made months ago.
The current repercussion surrounding the content represents yet another attempt to damage the image of the athlete and Clube de Regatas do Flamengo through the spread of misinformation and the use of information taken out of context.
Clube de Regatas do Flamengo repudiates the irresponsibility of those who, carelessly and in bad faith, produce and spread fake news.”
According to sources heard by Coluna do Fla, Gonzalo Plata carried out all activities normally during the week. However, according to Flamengo, the player has been feeling knee pain since the match against Grêmio last Sunday (10).
Flamengo’s match against Athletico-PR, on Sunday (17), for the 16th round of the Brazilian Championship, is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at Arena da Baixada. Therefore, Premiere, on pay-per-view, and SporTV, on closed TV, will broadcast the match.
