Hours before the head-to-head clash with Palmeiras this Sunday (19), a video leaked in which Wallace Yan appears enjoying a party in Rio de Janeiro. After the controversial episode involving the player, the forward’s press office spoke out.
“Given the reported facts, we inform that the athlete had known since Saturday, the 18th, that he would not be going to the match against Palmeiras! The internal list had already been released. Therefore, the athlete was off duty. We reaffirm the young player’s commitment to Flamengo and would like to reiterate the persistent persecution against him by the same blogger, as seen in recent posts and the tone used in the caption, not only distorting the fact but also already condemning, setting journalistic principles aside. Wallace is only 20 years old and is maturing, learning from mistakes, which is normal for any athlete of this age, but we emphasize that criticism should be made when there is cause, not when situations are inverted.”
In short, Wallace Yan emerged as one of the main prospects from Flamengo’s youth ranks. Under Filipe Luís, the forward began to get opportunities with the senior team.
Wallace Yan’s best moment with the Flamengo first team came at the Club World Cup, where he stood out with two goals. However, Fla were eliminated from the Copa do Brasil after the forward missed a penalty in the shootout against Atlético-MG.
Since then, Wallace Yan has lost space under Filipe Luís at Flamengo. In the meantime, the No. 64 got another chance against Bahia. However, after about ten minutes on the field, the player received two yellow cards and was sent off.
After that, the Flamengo board decided to fine Wallace Yan, penalizing him due to a case of ‘indiscipline’. As a result, despite his youth, the forward has been involved in successive controversies at Fla.
No! According to reporting by Coluna do Fla, later confirmed by Wallace Yan’s press office, Filipe Luís did not include the forward for the head-to-head clash with Palmeiras. As such, the player had Saturday (18) off.
Thus, without the No. 64, Flamengo face Palmeiras at 4 p.m. (Brasília time) this Sunday (19). The teams are playing Matchday 29 of the Brasileirão at the Maracanã, with live broadcast by Rede Globo for all of Brazil.
