Hulk on Flamengo v Atlético-MG: Clash with Wallace Yan, "rotten mouth" | OneFootball

Wallace Yan was one of the most talked-about names in Flamengo's matches against Atlético-MG

Dribbles, provocations, and insults. That was Wallace Yan against Atlético-MG in the recent matches for the Copa do Brasil and Brasileirão. After the classification of the Minas Gerais team last Wednesday (06), Hulk shared details of the verbal exchange with the red-black number 64. The experienced athlete said he tried to advise the Ninho's prodigy, was unsuccessful, and praised the colleague's performance.

— I have nothing against Wallace Yan. I tried to tell him that he is a very talented boy, but he didn't want to listen. Sometimes the press ends up poking, there is no such fight between players, what we try to do is advise. The first argument I had with him was when I told him to calm down because he was insulting Saravia and Cuello, then he turned to me and said: ‘go take it in that place’. I replied: ‘what a foul mouth’. Then he said: ‘go take it in that place indeed’. I said: ‘man, you are rude, aren't you?! —, said Hulk.

— But he is a boy with a lot of talent, maybe because he is in a very big club and rose very young, you don't have your head so worked on and end up being influenced. He should stay focused because there is a lot to go through to become a great player. Keep a good head, otherwise, it will end up overshadowing his football —, added the forward.

WHAT DOES FILIPE LUÍS THINK ABOUT WALLACE YAN?

Wallace Yan became a topic in an interview with coach Filipe Luís. After all, the forward missed the last penalty taken by Flamengo in the round of 16. Besides discussing the situation, the coach made a point to highlight that Hulk “is not a saint.”

“(Wallace Yan) is a player with a lot of personality, he doesn't hide or shy away from anyone. Even though he was the focus of attention, Lyanco, Hulk, Everson, are not saints. They provoke. It's a high-level game thing, nobody wants to lose,” he commented in a press conference after the end of the match.
