Grêmio player blames Braz, demands Libertadores medal from Flamengo | OneFootball

Cuéllar wants to receive the 2019 Libertadores champion medal

Currently at Grêmio, Cuéllar played for Flamengo during the 2019 season. That year, the Most Beloved won the Libertadores of America, but the midfielder did not receive the champion’s medal and ‘pointed the finger’ at Marcos Braz, the club’s former vice president of football.

— I played 10 out of 14 Libertadores matches. Statistically, I am a 2019 Libertadores champion. I didn’t get the medal, Marcos Braz didn’t send it to me, he had a grudge against me — he said, before concluding:

— I remember they sent it to other players who played fewer matches than I did. I don’t know, I don’t know the reason. But on the same day I was champion of the Libertadores and the Asian Champions League. In 24 hours, on the same day. There I got a medal — he finished, in an interview on journalist Duda Garbi’s podcast.

How many matches did Cuéllar play for Flamengo in the 2019 Libertadores?

Cuéllar took the field in ten matches wearing the Flamengo shirt in the 2019 Libertadores. At the time, the midfielder played 814 minutes, but did not score or provide any assists to his teammates.

Why didn’t Cuéllar play in the Libertadores final?

The reason is simple: the midfielder agreed to leave Flamengo to play for Al Hilal (SAU) from the second half of 2019 onward. For this reason, Cuéllar was not present in the main matches for the Most Beloved in the continental competition.
