FROM BOOING TO AFFIRMATION DURING THE COPA AMÉRICA, FANS PRAISE THE SIDENER’S PERFORMANCES

Flamengo fans are mobilizing on social media to apologize to Wesley, the team's right-back. The player, who has recently been fundamental for the team in a period of many absences, had another good performance in the victory against Atlético-MG, last Wednesday (3). Wesley, who faced a lot of criticism at the beginning of his career, took over the starting job due to Varela's call-up for the Copa América.

FLAMENGO EXPERIENCES A NEW LINE OF ACTION WITH WESLEY

However, his performances in field exceeded expectations, earning the respect and admiration of fans. With the game against Atlético-MG, he completed seven consecutive matches as a starter, showing defensive consistency and active participation in the attack. In the game in question, Flamengo built an excellent play in midfield with quick and precise passes. Luiz Araújo, in a deep play, he seemed to be directing the ball towards Gustavo Scarpa.

However, Wesley, with his speed and intelligence, anticipated the marker and entered the area with the ball dominated. Although the left leg shot wasn't perfect, it deflected off the post and found Carlinhos free to score. The goal was special not only for Carlinhos, who scored for the first time wearing a Flamengo shirt, but also for Wesley. The hug between Wesley and Gerson right after the goal was a moment of celebration and recognition for the young full-back's effort and evolution.
