“What are you buying, Saúl?”: fans mock Flamengo player after post gaffe | OneFootball

Training video posted by the Spaniard on TikTok went viral because of the soundtrack he chose

Saúl Ñíguez has a habit of posting photos and videos of Flamengo training sessions on TikTok, always with unusual songs. However, one of his recent posts became a joke among Rubro-Negro fans because of the obscene lyrics of a funk song.

What does Saúl’s post show?

The image shows only the defensive midfielder during the session on the pitch, with a caption about the rainy weather during training. However, the background song has suggestive lyrics, with a direct reference to the purchase of an item used for sexual stimulation. Because of this, the contrast between the calm scene and the content of the track caught the fans’ attention.

“Don’t his teammates warn him? KKKKKKKKKKKK,” said one user. “He does it on purpose, no way,” commented another person. “He definitely doesn’t know the translation,” speculated one Rubro-Negro fan. “What are you going to buy, Saúl????? That was crazy,” another supporter reacted in shock.

How many views did the video get?

In 24 hours, the post reached 3.6 million views. However, this is not the first time Saúl has gone viral because of his posts. After all, the player’s profile on X, formerly Twitter, is quite active.

It is worth noting that some athletes leave third parties in charge of managing their social media. Also, TikTok has an automatic music selection feature. So the player himself does not always choose the soundtrack used in posts.

What is Saúl’s current situation at Flamengo?

The Spaniard is among the players taking part in activities at Ninho do Urubu during the FIFA international break. The midfielder has started getting minutes again in recent matches under Leonardo Jardim. As a result, the player even stood out as Jorginho’s partner against Red Bull Bragantino in the Brasileirão.

On that occasion, Saúl ended a four-month spell without starting a match. Before that, the last time the Spaniard had been in the starting lineup was in Flamengo’s rout of Cusco (PER) in the Libertadores group stage. On that occasion, the player spent 70 minutes on the field and delivered a good performance.

When is Flamengo’s next match?

With Saúl available, Flamengo return to the pitch on October 8 against Santos, starting at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time), in the 29th round of the Brasileirão. Coluna do Fla will provide full coverage of the match at Vila Belmiro.
