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 a teammate had not passed him the ball.
Digital influencer Velloso said he understood what Samuel Lino said as he was leaving the field. According to the lip-reading, the forward said: “F*** this. He won’t pass the ball.” Therefore, the phrase reinforces the player’s outburst right after the substitution.
In addition, voice actor Gustavo Machado also analyzed the same moment independently. “They don’t pass the ball.” However, neither interpretation identified who Lino was complaining about.
– I was a bit irritated there because of the game and the condition of the pitch, which wasn’t helping, and I even made some gestures showing that no play was working out because the pitch wasn’t helping – said the No. 16 in the mixed zone after the 2-0 win.
– He came off and didn’t come by me, he veered away. I told him to come greet me. He said: “Damn, the ball just won’t roll, the pitch is slippery…” He was upset because he had misplaced a few passes and had a few loose balls there on the field – Jardim said in the press conference.
In the 37th minute of the second half, Leonardo Jardim substituted Samuel Lino. The forward was replaced by Everton Cebolinha for the remainder of the match. The change came with the result already virtually decided on the scoreboard.
Despite leaving the field frustrated, Samuel Lino played a direct role in the buildup to 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 fixture is against Remo this Sunday (06), starting at 4:00 p.m. (Brasília time). The match will be played at Mangueirão, in Belém, in the 26th round of the Brasileirão. That gives Samuel Lino a chance to put the frustration behind him.
It’s not at all absurd to believe that a football player didn’t receive a pass. In fact, that’s pretty normal. However, Velloso has always made it clear that lip-reading is not an exact science,” said João Vítor Reis of Coluna do Fla.
