Wallace Yan’s team reacts to night out before Flamengo v Palmeiras

The forward was on leave, as he was not listed for the Flamengo vs Palmeiras match

Hours before the direct clash with Palmeiras this Sunday (19), a video leaked showing Wallace Yan enjoying a party in Rio de Janeiro. After the controversial episode involving the player, the forward's press office issued a statement.

What was the statement from Wallace Yan's press office?

“In light of the reported facts, we inform that the athlete already knew since Saturday, the 18th, that he would not be playing in the match against Palmeiras! The internal list had already been released. Therefore, the athlete was on leave. We reiterate the young player's commitment to Flamengo and would like to emphasize the persistent persecution against him by the same blogger, as seen in recent posts and the tone used in the captions, not only distorting the facts but also already condemning, setting aside the principles of journalism. Wallace is only 20 years old and is in a process of maturing, learning from his mistakes, which is normal for any athlete of this age, but we stress that criticism should exist when there is a real issue, not when situations are twisted.”

What other controversies has the player been involved in?

In summary, Wallace Yan emerged as one of the main prospects from Flamengo's youth academy. Under the guidance of Filipe Luís, the forward began to get opportunities in the professional team.

The best moment for Wallace Yan in the main Flamengo squad was at the Club World Cup, where he stood out in the tournament with two goals. However, Fla was eliminated from the Copa do Brasil after the forward missed a penalty in the shootout against Atlético-MG.

Since then, Wallace Yan has lost his place in Flamengo under Filipe Luís. In the meantime, the number 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, who was penalized due to an episode of ‘indiscipline’. As a result, despite being young, the forward has been involved in repeated controversies at Fla.

Is the forward playing against Palmeiras?

No! According to a report by Coluna do Fla and confirmed by Wallace Yan's press office, Filipe Luís did not include the forward in the squad for the direct clash with Palmeiras. Thus, the player was off on Saturday (18).

Therefore, without number 64, Flamengo faces Palmeiras at 4pm (Brasília time) this Sunday (19). The teams are playing the 29th round of the Brasileirão at Maracanã, with live broadcast by Rede Globo for all of Brazil.
