Wallace Yan wants to improve his psychological side


Flamengo fined Wallace Yan, who was marked by a 'lightning' expulsion after 10 minutes in the game against Bahia. In the meantime, the player started a follow-up with mental coach Cleiton Carvalho.

In summary, Cleiton Carvalho worked with Luiz Henrique in the Botafogo days. At the time, the player was not in good form. After the help of the mental coach, the former Botafogo striker was even elected 'King of America' in the 2024 season.

Does Wallace Yan have a history of controversies?

It is worth remembering that Wallace had already been involved in controversies with Hulk, from Atlético-MG, and with players from Fluminense in the Fla-Flu classic. With this, Flamengo began to observe the player's 'energetic' behavior.

Another point that deserves highlighting is that Wallace Yan also became known for missing the penalty against Atlético-MG, in the Brazil Cup. However, it was the expulsion against Bahia that set off the alarm at Flamengo, which considered the action as a "serious mistake".

How did Wallace Yan feel after the expulsion?
