Ibson on Jorginho at Flamengo: "He wasn't honest with me"

Ibson won two titles with Flamengo

The midfielder Ibson, who is now retired from the pitch, made history at the start of the decade wearing the Flamengo jersey. However, the player left the Most Beloved in 2013. Last Monday (19), the former defensive midfielder explained the reason for his departure and mentioned problems with Jorginho.

— Dorival left, and that’s when I had a lot of problems. Dorival left, and Jorginho came in. That’s when the problem started. He wasn’t truthful with me. Jorginho said I was behind Luiz Antonio and Amaral. I shook his hand and said: “Coach, thank you.” I was the one who called him to talk — Ibson began.

— It was sad, because I was a starter with Dorival. Then, against Bangu, in Volta Redonda, I was on standby. Another day, I called him and said: “Coach, I’m three months behind on salary and ten months behind on image rights. I don’t want to leave. If you can help me, great. If not, that’s okay too.” He turned to me and said that Luiz Antônio and Amaral were ahead of me. I shook his hand and said: “Thank you.” The next day, they put me to train separately — the former player concluded, in an interview with Canal Mundo GV.
