Saúl blasts players over training slip-up at Flamengo | OneFootball

What happened to Saúl Ñíguez during Flamengo's training?

Since arriving at Flamengo, Saúl Ñíguez has shown to be an active player on social media and ‘banter’. On Tuesday (16), the midfielder appeared on ‘X’ (formerly Twitter) and ‘mocked’ some athletes for forgetting at Ninho do Urubu.

The joke started after Flamengo shared a video, in which the players had to remember when they scored their first career goal. With a good memory, Saúl mentioned the year (2014/15 season) when he scored the goal, which was against Sevilla (ESP).

With some teammates unable to remember, such as Allan and Léo Ortiz, for example, Saúl reposted Flamengo's interaction and, in a relaxed manner, said: “No need for Wikipedia”.

HOW HAS SAÚL'S JOURNEY AT FLAMENGO BEEN?

Saúl Ñíguez was one of the reinforcements that arrived at Flamengo in this last transfer window. The board brought the Spaniard shortly after Gerson left for Zenit (RUS) and, in addition, Erick Pulgar's injury occurred.

In the face of a 'depleted' midfield, Saúl took the opportunity and secured one of the position's spots. The athlete, in fact, has become one of the trusted pieces in coach Filipe Luís's team.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S NEXT MATCH?

With Saúl available, Flamengo faces Estudiantes (ARG), for the first leg of the quarter-finals of the Libertadores. The ball rolls at 9:30 pm (Brasília time) this Thursday (16), at Maracanã.

The Coluna do Fla, as usual, shows all the details of the clash through the 'on-site' coverage of Leo José and Simon Lédo, on YouTube. Finally, ESPN (cable channel) and Disney+ (streaming) broadcast the match valid for the quarter-finals of the Libertadores.
