Wallace Yan Misses Decisive Penalty in Copa do Brasil Quarterfinals

With great personality, Wallace Yan did not hide after missing the decisive penalty for Flamengo against Atlético-MG in the Copa do Brasil quarterfinals. Soon after the match on Wednesday (06), the striker took to social media to apologize. On Thursday (07), the number 64 jersey recorded an interview and warned: if needed, he will be available to take another penalty.

— The moment is being calm, I received many positive messages from fans and family. I think this serves as a learning experience and I will continue working, because I know I can improve every day. I train penalties a lot, daily. I think this is natural in football: there are moments when you will make it and moments when you will miss —, said Wallace Yan.

— I will continue training and, if there is another decision, I will ask to take it, if I am confident. It is natural in football for a confident player to take the penalty and help the team. The expectation is very good to play a good game and get the three points (against Mirassol). We know that the Nation will be present to help us. We have our minds on the Libertadores, but we will also do everything to conquer the Brazilian Championship — added the Flamengo striker.
