Yan Couto surprised the Brazilian media UOL in an interview with some statements in which he points out that the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) asked her to change her pink hair to her natural hair to face the two friendlies that the canarinha played against Mexico and USA and the America Cup which starts on the 20th. The Girona full-back wore that color during the completed campaign and now takes a step back in his style.
“It was a request, basically. They told me pink was kind of extravagant or so. I don’t believe it but I’m going to respect it. They asked me and I’m going to do it,” Couto declared during the interview.
The winger, one of the sensations of Míchel’s team and of the entire La Liga, added: “I was playing with pink hair all season. Actually, It was my choice, it was going well, it was fun. But it was something else for Girona, many people there dyed their hair, it was like a fashion. Here in the National Team, the cycle ended. I am Yan with black hair“Nothing changes, I’m still the same.”
The 22-year-old footballer made his senior debut for Brazil last October under Fernando Diniz and on that occasion he sported pink hair. He added minutes against Venezuela and Uruguay, with a draw and a loss respectively.
