Flamengo star Arrascaeta named Brasileirão’s player of the month for August | OneFootball

Flamengo announced this Thursday, through social media, that Giorgian De Arrascaeta was chosen as the player of the month for August in the Brazilian Championship. The Uruguayan midfielder delivered standout performances and was a key piece in the team’s strong run in the national competition.

During the month, the Rubro-Negro played six matches in the tournament, with four wins and two draws. Arrascaeta was decisive in almost every game: he scored three goals and provided five assists, reaching the impressive mark of eight direct goal involvements. That’s more than one contribution per game for the number 10, who only missed out on a goal involvement in one match.

The Uruguayan’s importance becomes even more evident in the numbers. Without his direct contributions, the 14 points Flamengo earned in August would drop to eight. In this scenario, the club would be in third place in the Brasileirão, behind Palmeiras and Cruzeiro, and no longer in the lead. With vision, technical quality, and a starring role in decisive moments, Arrascaeta has once again taken on the role of reference in the offensive sector.

Last Sunday, in the 22nd round of the Brasileirão, Flamengo drew 1-1 with Grêmio away from home. Even without scoring, the Uruguayan was once again a key player in creating the team’s main attacking plays under coach Filipe Luís, who kept the team at the top of the table despite the result.

Now, the Rubro-Negro prepares to face Juventude at the Alfredo Jaconi, seeking another victory to remain firm at the top. With Arrascaeta in great form and taking on a leading role, the expectation is that Flamengo will continue to rely on the Uruguayan’s talent to sustain their strong campaign and aim for the Brazilian title.
