Flamengo played on Saturday (17) with one player less against Volta Redonda for a good part of the match. This happened because defender Carbone received two warnings within ten minutes in the second round of the Carioca, which caught the attention of coach Bruno Pivetti.
— These are young players who enter the game with a very strong drive to show their worth, especially at a club the size of Flamengo. Unfortunately, the referee exaggerated -, highlighted Pivetti, in the mixed zone, adding that: — A conversation would have been worthwhile there. And maybe I agree that the second foul was worthy of a yellow card. But, anyway, this is part of inexperience, immaturity, and professionals will learn from mistakes to correct them in the best way and redirect their career path -, pointed out the coach.
Playing as a left-back, the first yellow card occurred two minutes into the game. Then, at ten minutes, the player tackled Ygor Catatau from behind. Thus, the referee had no choice but to send the defender to the showers early.
Therefore, with the entire first half ahead, Mengão conceded two goals with the under-20 team. In the second half, Volta Redonda scored another and closed the red-black account, which remains winless in the state championship.
Given the result, the Most Beloved faces Vasco on Wednesday (21) starting at 9:30 PM (Brasília time). The classic takes place at Maracanã, the first home game for Rubro-Negro.
