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.
In summary, the first work session of Wallace Yan with Cleiton Carvalho took place last Wednesday (08). Julio Miguel Neto initially released the information. It is worth mentioning that Flamengo's football director, José Boto, and coach Filipe Luís will talk to the young player.
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".
It is important to mention that people close to the player report that Wallace Yan was upset with the episode. Moreover, the striker acknowledged the mistake and sought help to improve his psychological side.
Now, the main goal of Wallace Yan is to develop greater maturity, focusing on emotional stability and clarity. Finally, it is worth noting that Wesley, from Roma (ITA), went through a similar process during his time at Flamengo.
