Flamengo chiefs angered by Gonzalo Plata, explain loss of place | OneFootball

Flamengo grew irritated with Gonzalo Plata’s behavior in recent days

Flamengo has shown irritation with forward Gonzalo Plata, who was left out of the last match due to inappropriate behavior. The Rubro-Negro side was unhappy with the Ecuadorian’s attitude and has been reacting internally.

According to information from Venê Casagrande, the understanding is that the forward seems to have “not faced reality yet” about the reasons that made him lose space. The message was delivered to the Ecuadorian: either he improves (in every sense) or he will not be used by the coach.

WHAT DID GONZALO PLATA DO?

“They talk a lot, they know little” was what Gonzalo Plata posted on his WhatsApp status. As a result, the Ecuadorian forward’s message was leaked, gaining nationwide attention before the clash against Corinthians.

As a result, coach Leonardo Jardim left Gonzalo Plata out of the squad for Flamengo vs. Corinthians last Sunday (22). The Portuguese manager decided to leave the foreign player in Rio de Janeiro due to the internal situation within the Rubro-Negro squad.

WHAT IS GONZALO PLATA’S SITUATION AT FLAMENGO?

With that, Flamengo is already considering negotiating Gonzalo Plata after this year’s World Cup. The Rubro-Negro club signed the forward in 2024 for 9 million dollars (R$ 52 million at the exchange rate at the time) from Al Sadd (QAT).

WHEN DO FLAMENGO PLAY?

While Gonzalo Plata is playing for Ecuador during the FIFA international window, the other players who were not called up are off. That is because Flamengo only return to action on April 2 against Red Bull Bragantino in the Brazilian Championship at the Maracanã.
