Copa do Brasil priority? Arrascaeta on Flamengo’s season focus | OneFootball

Flamengo and Atlético-MG face off at Arena MRV with a disadvantage for the Rubro-Negro

After the 1-0 defeat in the first leg, Arrascaeta hopes that Flamengo will respond on the field in the return match against Atlético-MG, for the Copa do Brasil. The midfielder and the squad of the Most Beloved are trying to overturn the score this Wednesday (06), at Arena MRV, starting at 7pm (Brasília time).

— Now, because of this, we have to believe that, as a priority, we could talk more about it later. But at the moment, we are thinking step by step, game by game. The next one will be at Atlético’s home and we will wait to give our answer on the field. We know we have to chase the result, we are at a disadvantage. Well, what happened has already happened, we have to take it as a lesson. That’s why we need to believe that what we do in this game is to surpass ourselves even more — highlighted the number 10 in the mixed zone.

The statement was made last Sunday (03), after the 1-1 draw against Ceará, at Castelão, for the Brasileirão. The Flamengo victory slipped away after a defensive error that allowed a header goal by Pedro Raúl, assisted by Lucas Mugni, a former Flamengo player.
