Wallace Yan was sent off in the match against Bahia after being on the field for only 11 minutes in Flamengo's 1-0 defeat. Thus, the young player was criticized, including by Neto, a former player. The current presenter slammed the athlete and cited Flamengo idols as examples.

— Both red cards in the Flamengo game were correct. Danilo's and this kid's, who thinks he's Zico. Conceited. Wallace Yan, who do you think you are? You're wearing the Flamengo jersey, brother —, started Neto, during the program ‘Os Donos da Bola’, this Tuesday (07).

— The club is trying to win the Brazilian Championship, and you enter the field and get sent off in 11 minutes. What era did you play in? Do you know who Zico is? Andrade? Cláudio Adão? Adílio? Who are you to do what you did? —, concluded the former player.

WHAT'S THE CONTEXT?
