Wallace Yan and Lyanco had a disagreement during a Copa do Brasil match

The young Wallace Yan, from Flamengo, and the Atlético defender Lyanco exchanged barbs on the field last Thursday (31). The images of the argument went viral and became a topic of debate on sports programs. Thus, a day after the clash, the Flamengo forward made a reflective post on social media.

“Focused on doing my best, and always willing to improve and evolve,” states Wallace Yan's post. The caption accompanies a photo of the athlete with the ball at his feet during the 1-0 defeat to Atlético-MG in the first leg of the Copa do Brasil round of 16.

What happened?

The tension began the previous Sunday (27), during the match for the Brasileirão, at Maracanã. Hulk was irritated by supposed provocations from the young forward about Atlético-MG's salary issues. The Atlético players relayed the incident to Lyanco, who was suspended for that match.

– It was a game incident, I heard about the banter from the last game. So, when he came on, he already arrived, and they talked a little. It ended up with him talking to Everson and I said: ‘Not here. As I said. Everyone defends their own, but not here’. You can see the quality he has, not only him but also Gonçalves, they are both very good players. When he moves up (to the professional level), like from the youth team, in a team like Flamengo, on one hand, you can understand, the way and what must be going through his mind -, explained Lyanco in a post-match interview.

When is Flamengo's next match?

The teams are preparing for the Brasileirão round this Sunday (3), when Flamengo visits Ceará at Arena Castelão, at 6:30 PM (Brasília time). The return leg of the Copa do Brasil round of 16 is scheduled for Wednesday (6), at Arena MRV, Atlético-MG's stadium where Flamengo won the competition title last year.
