Wallace Yan's intense stance became a topic of conversation again after the clash between Flamengo and Atlético-MG, last Thursday (31) , at Maracanã, for the first leg of the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil. The 20-year-old striker received a yellow card for getting involved in an argument with opponents, including Lyanco, and was again the target of external criticism.


Despite this, coach Filipe Luís adopted a firm stance in his defense, highlighting his personality as a key factor in his performance on the field. In a press conference following the 1-0 defeat, Luís commented on the number 29's behavior and made it clear that he has no intention of suppressing his style of play.


" I think Wallace is the player he is because of his character and personality. It's him, his style. He doesn't have to change; he has to continue being him," the coach stated. He added that the athlete "ignites the game" and that his style can irritate opponents, but shouldn't be seen as a negative, as long as it doesn't cross the line into violence or insults on the field.


CONFLICT BETWEEN WALLACE AND PLAYERS

Wallace's yellow card was a result of an argument with Lyanco shortly after coming on in the second half. Furthermore, the striker was the target of taunts while recovering from a collision. After the match, striker Hulk tried to talk to Wallace , but things got heated and the youngster had to be removed by teammates.


SPEECH BY FILIPE LUÍS

The relationship between Hulk and Wallace had already been the subject of a conversation caught on camera during the previous match between the teams. At the time, the coach himself had already indicated that he was familiar with the Flamengo striker's profile.
