The steering wheel is going through a bad patch in the Mengao receiving criticism from all sides for its performance which is far from its best version.
Arturo Vidal is having a bad time in Brazil . The national midfielder has not been able to teach in recent times the qualities that led him to the best teams in the world and which brought him to Brazil as one of the great figures of world football.
The discontent of the fans was reflected in Brasileirao’s last duel against Corinthians. For this duel, Erik Pulgar entered as a starter and left the field being replaced by the king.
The reaction of the public was immediate, showing their annoyance at the change based on blunders and even the public at the Maracana stadium started chanting “donkey, donkey” against Jorge Sampaoli current coach of the reds and blacks.
And this malaise is also taught by the press. One of the cases was that of the columnist Renato Maurício Prado in the program “El Fim de Papo” of UOL Esporte.
“Vidal is no longer a footballer. Only Sampaoli does not see it . He just picks up the ball and passes it to whoever is next or behind, ”he started by pointing into space.
“It is absolutely useless. When Vidal enters, Flamengo start playing with one less Prado continued to launch.
And he didn’t stop there on his own, as he continued: “I would like someone to show me a game of Vidal in all the last games he played and you say ‘ah, Vidal has well done’. He didn’t do anything, he didn’t try. Incredible to have put Vidal ”, He pointed to the decision of Sampaoli, who also spoke against her.
“The public spoke with the ‘donkey’ choir. And Sampaoli escaped thanks to a goal from Léo Pereira, because whether the match ended 0-0 or with a victory for Corinthians, Flamengo fans painted all of Gávea with ‘Fuera Sampaoli’ because they did everything to lose “, he accused.
Flamengo have won narrowly in the last three Brasileirao matches but have been unable to leave behind the poor sporting performance they showed in the early rounds in which they suffered three defeats.
Indeed, with the last victory against Corinthians in 90+4′, Mengao climbed to sixth place in the table and is six points behind Botafogo, the current leader. .
The next challenge for Sampaoli, Vidal and Pulgar will be in Chile for the Copa Libertadores. The Rio de Janeiro team are due to travel to Concepción to face Ñublense on Wednesday at the Ester Roa stadium (8:30 p.m.) .
In said competition, Group A is led by Racing Club with seven points and is followed by Flamengo with four. Aucas appears further with three units and the last, with the worst goal difference, is Ñublense with three.
