UFC fighter full of praise for Filipe Luís, sends warning to Wallace Yan | OneFootball

José Aldo is satisfied with Filipe Luís’s work and thinks Wallace Yan needs a psychologist

The former UFC fighter and die-hard Flamengo fan José Aldo said this Friday (10) how enjoyable it is to see the attacking football that coach Filipe Luís uses at Flamengo. The two-time featherweight champion also analyzed the delicate phase that Wallace Yan is going through.

— Filipe Luís’s work is great to me. The team is fighting on all fronts. In the Libertadores, we have a very tough matchup, but what we went through against Estudiantes (ARG) was already enough. But it will be 180 minutes in which the team can play good football and win comfortably, Aldo said at the Maracanã, adding that:

— Now, the Brasileirão I think will go until the end of the year, man. At one point it goes up, it goes down. People have been criticizing the last games. But I don’t think so, because there are two sides. It won’t always go the way we want. It’s part of it. I really believe in Filipe’s work. I really believe in the players. I think Flamengo will grow a lot more, the ex-fighter pointed out.

What did José Aldo say to Wallace Yan?

The young forward Wallace Yan, 20, has racked up episodes of taunting rivals. However, in Flamengo’s last match, the forward came on during the game and picked up two yellow cards in 10 minutes, which led the club to fine him for indiscipline.

— I believe that family support, a psychologist, and those kinds of things will help him a lot more. Filipe (Luís) is always talking with him there, and everything that happens is a learning experience. If we look back, several players in the past did the same things he did, Aldo noted.

The ex-fighter believes the fans like and fire up Wallace Yan a lot, and he usually loses his head a bit. So, Aldo says it’s not typical of the forward to make mistakes. The featherweight champion believes that experience is all the youngster needs to get back on track.

What was José Aldo doing at Maracanã?

The former UFC fighter was at Maracanã to attend the “Partida do Coração” (Match of the Heart). The charity event brought together players considered legends in Brazil and Italy. The world champion Romário, for example, was present.
