It is important to point out that Wallace Yan’s missed penalty happened in the semifinal of the ‘Torneio do Conjuntão.’ On that occasion, the Flamengo forward was playing for ‘Equipe M,’ Matheus Gonçalves’ team. The former Rubro-Negro midfielder also took one of the penalties, but converted his. With the negative result, the Ninho graduates were eliminated by ‘Espanha,’ which went on to become champion.

WHAT IS WALLACE YAN’S SITUATION AT FLAMENGO?

Before starting to enjoy his days off, Wallace Yan was focused on his commitments with Flamengo. Right at the start of the year, it looked like the forward was going to leave the club. However, because of contractual issues, he ended up not moving to Red Bull Bragantino.

After that, Wallace Yan returned to training with Flamengo and started getting more opportunities after the arrival of Leonardo Jardim. Therefore, on June 19, the forward and the other players who are not away with their national teams for the World Cup will report back to CT Ninho do Urubu.
