Coach Vítor Pereira referred to the Chilean midfielder’s reaction during the post-match press conference.
Arturo Vidal didn’t have a good time in his last call with Flamengo . The national midfielder was hoping to enter the 1-0 victory over Boavista in the corresponding duel for the Carioca Championship, a national competition in which clubs from Rio de Janeiro participate.
However, as the minutes went by, his ability to add minutes faded until coach Vítor Pereira decided that in the 83rd minute, with two substitutions remaining, Matheus Franca and Marinho would enter. .
Thus, given the impossibility of entering the playing field, Arturo Vidal went to the substitutes’ bench where, after sitting down, he threw one of his football boots forcefully forward and then to the side, as recorded on local television. .
TD’s response
Once the game was over, the Flamengo coach was asked about this situation, although he avoided getting into a direct argument with Arturo Vidal, he sent him a clear message.
“The dissatisfaction of one or the other player is something natural because we have to make decisions based on what we analyze and the idea that we have of the players who can help the team the most in this that time. “commented the coach.
“We must put the team and the club above all personal ambitions “, launched Vitor Pereira.
Flamengo must now concentrate for their next international challenge. Mengao will now travel to Morocco to face the Club World Cup as a representative of South America after winning the Copa Libertadores title.
The red and black team enters this competition directly in the semi-finals, where they await as rivals the winner of the cross between Moroccan Wydad and Saudi Al Hilal, who will meet next Saturday.
