“Filipe Luís took me off the team after the 3-0 defeat to Fortaleza (in last year’s Under-20 Brazilian Championship). I said: ‘ he wants to screw me over ’. Then he put me at 9 and asked me to attack the space. I didn’t understand anything . I scored two goals and he said he warned me . He helped me a lot to understand the processes”, said Wallace Yan, in an interview with Julio Miguel Neto.
