Outside the field, the player also faces difficulties, with relationship problems with the majority of the squad. The main reason for this distance would be the defender’s aggression towards Cauã Paixão, a 19-year-old young man who graduated from the youth teams, in January this year. The information was released by Ge.

At Vasco since July last year, Medel became coach Ramón Diaz’s “trusted man” and received the captain’s armband. The defender’s last game for Cruz-Maltino was the 4-0 defeat to Cricíuma, which marked the Argentine coach’s farewell.

UNDERSTAND THE FIGHT

On January 31st, Vasco was concentrated in Uberlândia for the match against Nova Iguaçu, in the first phase of the Campeonato Carioca. At lunch time, striker Cauã Paixão, a young player at the base, entered the elevator using his cell phone and did not greet Medel and the rest of the players present.

The Vasco captain didn’t like the attitude and attacked the young man with a slap to the back of the head. Cauã reacted to the aggression, and the two started a fight in the elevator. After the Chilean’s second slap, the attacker threw himself towards Medel.

Both exchanged punches and had to be separated by the rest of the athletes present. In the midst of the confusion, the defender even bit Cauã Paixão, who was loaned to América-RN about a month after the episode.
