Samuel Lino left the field visibly upset during Flamengo’s win over Mirassol at the Maracanã. When greeting Leonardo Jardim, a lip-reading interpretation picked up the forward’s complaint that he had not received the ball from a teammate.
Digital influencer Velloso interpreted what Samuel Lino said as he was leaving the field. According to the lip-reading, the forward said: “F*** this. He doesn’t pass the ball.” Therefore, the expression reinforces the player’s outburst right after the substitution.
In addition, voice actor Gustavo Machado also independently analyzed the same moment. “They don’t pass the ball.” However, neither interpretation identified who Lino was complaining about.
– I was a little irritated there because of the game and the condition of the pitch, which wasn’t helping. I even made some gestures showing that no play was working out because the pitch wasn’t helping –, the No. 16 said in the mixed zone after the 2-0 win.
– He came off and didn’t come by me, he went around. I told him to come greet me. He said: “Damn, the ball just won’t move, the pitch is slippery...”. He was upset because he had misplaced some passes and had some difficult balls there on the field –, Jardim said at the press conference.
In the 37th minute of the second half, Leonardo Jardim substituted Samuel Lino. Therefore, the forward made way for Everton Cebolinha for the remainder of the match. The change came with the result already practically settled on the scoreboard.
Despite leaving the field unhappy, Samuel Lino played a direct role in building the first goal of the match. The forward passed the ball to Pedro, who continued the move. Then the No. 9 set up Carrascal, who finished to open the scoring at the Maracanã.
Flamengo’s next match is against Remo this Sunday (06), starting at 4 p.m. Brasília time. Therefore, the game will take place at Mangueirão, in Belém, in the 26th round of the Brasileirão. That gives Samuel Lino a chance to turn his frustration around.
There is nothing unusual about a football player getting irritated for not receiving a pass. In fact, that is completely normal. However, Velloso has always made it clear that lip-reading is not an exact science,” said João Vítor Reis of Coluna do Fla.
