Léo Pereira hits back at Paulinho for goading Flamengo fans | OneFootball

Palmeiras beat Flamengo 3-0 in the 17th round of the Brasileirão at the Maracanã

Forward Paulinho sparked outrage among Flamengo fans on Saturday (23). That’s because the player told the Flamengo supporters to be quiet after scoring Palmeiras’ third goal. As a result, Léo Pereira said the forward is immature and has no respect for the club.

— We’re sad because of the lack of respect from Paulinho, right? (…) So we expected, actually, we expect there to be at least a minimum of respect for whoever is on the other side, right, for the human being and for the club — said Léo Pereira, who added:

— You can see there was, maybe, a lack of maturity. He’s an immature player. I don’t know why he acted that way, only he can answer that, but provocations exist in football, that’s nothing new — the center back said in the mixed zone.
