Filipe Luís hails Carrascal’s display in Flamengo v Corinthians: “Remarkable” | OneFootball

Carrascal participated in both Flamengo goals against Corinthians

Jorge Carrascal started among the starters in Flamengo’s victory over Corinthians, by 2-1, and was the main name for Mengão this Sunday (28). Not surprisingly, when questioned by the Coluna do Fla team about the Colombian’s performance, the coach showered the player with praise.

— I see these connections (Carrascal and Arrascaeta), how they look for each other even during training, during the week’s training sessions. He (Carrascal) had been training in that position for the last week and a half, maybe two weeks, and he understood it well. Now, what a player. The game he played was impressive,” began Filipe Luís.

— He brings fluidity to the team, cleans up plays, has a vision of the game, connects with his teammates. And today, on top of that, he provided two assists, showing he’s also a decisive player. So, I’m very happy with his performance and his commitment as well,” he added.

— Because, in this role, he had to run more than he’s used to, and he did it. Now it’s a matter of adaptation. In the last five or ten minutes he had cramps, but I believe that, with more games, he will handle this position well,” concluded the Flamengo coach.

How did Carrascal perform?

Carrascal formed a midfield duo alongside Arrascaeta this Sunday (28). Thus, ten minutes into the second half, the Colombian took advantage of a cross and ‘rolled’ the ball to the number 10 in the penalty area. As a result, the Uruguayan found the net for Mengão.

Additionally, at 42 minutes into the second half, Carrascal received a pass from Royal and found Luiz Araújo on the left wing. Thus, alone in the Corinthians’ box, the number 7 found the left corner of Hugo Souza’s goal.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

With Carrascal available, Flamengo begins preparations to face Cruzeiro next Thursday (02). The match takes place at 8:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the 26th round of the Campeonato Brasileiro.

Thus, as tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring the best coverage on the internet, through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Flamengo vs. Cruzeiro match.
