Pedro gets punched by the athletic trainer: Flamengo sacks Sampaoli's assistant

2023-07-31 13:52:55, Sport CNA

Flamengo sacked assistant coach Pablo Fernandez for punching forward Pedro in the face for alleged insubordination. The footballer filed a complaint against him because of the incident that happened the day before. The former Fiorentina striker shared the ugly episode on his social media channels. Pedro, who was in Brazil's squad at the last World Cup, said Fernandez punched him in the face. The incident happened after Flamengo's 2-1 win against Atletico Mineiro in a Brazilian league match. Minas Gerais police said the assistant coach also slapped him three times before punching him.

"I could stay here and talk about the few minutes taken in the last games. But what happened today was more serious than what can happen on the field. Manfully, for no reason and inexplicably, I was attacked. I was punched in the face by Pablo Fernandez, a member of Sampaoli's technical staff - wrote the 26-year-old Brazilian -. The physical cowardice took precedence over the psychological cowardice I've been suffering for the past few weeks.

Anyone who thinks they have the right to attack another deserves no one's respect. I've been through a lot of trials here at Flamengo, but nothing compares to the brutality suffered today. God bless a person who in the middle of 2023 thinks that physical aggression can solve any problem. Thank you JESUS ??for teaching me to turn the other page." Among the demonstrations of solidarity is that of Arturo Vidal, his former friend at Flamengo: "We are with you brother".
