The Argentine defender Freytes has been the target of criticism from Fluminense fans due to recurring mistakes. Despite the Tricolor’s overwhelming start, with seven wins and one draw since the main squad debuted, the defender is experiencing the opposite and has accumulated errors that have led to goals for the opponents.
Last Monday, in the 3-1 victory over Bangu in the Carioca, Freytes mishandled the ball at the edge of the box and allowed Ricardo Sena to reduce the score. At the end of the match, the defender was booed at Maracanã and received several negative comments on social media.
“Look at that idiot Freytes in the second play, go to hell! This guy hates Fluminense, man” and “I hope Freytes gets sold as soon as possible. Horrible defender,” were some of the posts.

In the main squad’s season debut, against Nova Iguaçu, Freytes tried to control the ball with his chest but ended up slipping. As the play continued, the opening goal was scored.
In the first round of the Brasileirão, the defender failed to jump for a cross to make the clearance and saw Grêmio’s Carlos Vinícius reduce the score. In the following round, Bahia tied the match after a collective mistake by Fábio and the defender, as both let the ball pass for Cristian Oliveira to score.
