An unusual song choice for a TikTok training video by midfielder Saúl Ñíguez has become the subject of humorous comments from Flamengo fans on social media.
Spanish midfielder Saúl Ñíguez, known for being very active on his social media, became the protagonist of an unexpected moment during a training session at Ninho do Urubu.
The player posted a short video on TikTok showcasing his routine activities in the rain, but it was the chosen soundtrack that stole the show, sparking a wave of reactions among Flamengo supporters.
The song, a funk track with explicit and obscene lyrics referring to sexual stimulation items, created a curious contrast with the training footage.
The video, which garnered 3.6 million views in just 24 hours, quickly went viral, leading fans to question whether the athlete understood the meaning of the lyrics.
Fan Reaction
The situation sparked numerous discussions on digital platforms, with Flamengo fans questioning the lack of guidance from his teammates and even the possibility that the choice was an automatic selection by the platform itself.
One follower questioned:
“Don’t his teammates warn him? LOL”
Another fan tried to downplay the situation:
“He definitely doesn’t know the translation.”
Despite the lighthearted tone, this isn’t the first time the player has gained attention for his posts, which often feature unique music choices and an engaged demeanor.
Professional Outlook at Flamengo
While the controversy amuses the internet, Saúl is in a recovery phase on the field.
Under the command of Leonardo Jardim, the Spaniard has regained valuable minutes and rebuilt the coaching staff’s confidence.
He recently partnered with Jorginho in the match against Red Bull Bragantino, ending a four-month absence from the starting lineup.
Flamengo‘s focus now shifts to the remainder of the Brazilian Serie A.
With Saúl in the squad, the team is preparing to face Santos on October 8, at 7:30 PM (Brasília time), at Vila Belmiro.
The match, for the 29th round of the national competition, will have full coverage by the Equipe M360.
