In a social media post, Aderlan apologized to the player and emphasized that he never intended to hurt him:

The right-back also highlighted that he understands the midfielder's pain, having recently gone through a similar situation himself:

– I deeply regret the injury, especially knowing from my own knee experience how painful this process is for the athlete and his family. I wish him a quick and full recovery so he can return to playing as soon as possible. May God bless you and your family, Jair.

According to a report by ge, Aderlan also called Jair directly on Tuesday morning to apologize personally, and the situation between the two was resolved.

Threats from fans

Despite the apology, the Sport right-back revealed that he and his family have been targeted by virtual attacks from Vasco fans since the incident.
