After Flamengo's 2-1 defeat against Fortaleza this Thursday (11), at Maracanã, journalist Renato Maurício Prado did not mince words when criticizing the performance of a player in the squad. In his statements, Prado focused his criticism on midfielder Allan, hired at the request of Jorge Sampaoli. The player's performance was harshly evaluated by the sports journalist.
“Allan, for me, is a mediocre player. Since arriving at Flamengo, he has never justified his hiring. Whose request? Jorge Sampaoli. Allan was never anything big”, declared RMP, who was still ironic. His words highlighted the dissatisfaction with the player's performance on the field, especially after the recent defeat. Renato Maurício Prado continued his criticism, highlighting the lack of physical and physical consistency. player technique. “He is a hell of a player. He plays two, three games and gets hurt, and is out four or five times. And when he comes back, he plays this absolutely mediocre football. Did you see any vertical passes from Allan today?” asked the journalist, emphasizing the midfielder's lack of significant contribution during the match.
At Flamengo since July 2023 , Allan was hired from Atlético-MG for 8.2 million euros (more than R$43 million). Despite the investment, he still hasn't managed to establish himself in the team as expected. Recently, Allan gained a new opportunity in the starting team, playing alongside Erick Pulgar and Gerson in midfield. However, with the return of Copa América players, such as Arrascaeta and Nico De La Cruz, the former Galo player should lose space in the team.
The Flamengo was on a good run of results, but in the last two rounds, performance fell, adding just one point out of a possible six at Maracanã. As a result, the Rio team fell to third place in the championship, with 31 points, two less than Botafogo and Palmeiras. Flamengo's next game will be on July 20th, at Maracanã, at 4pm (Brasília time), against Criciúma.
