The quality of Arrascaeta is indisputable, and given the season he is having at Flamengo, even rival players are acknowledging the Uruguayan. As a result, Rodrigo Garro, a midfielder for Corinthians, did not 'sit on the fence' and placed the number 10 of Mengão ahead of other athletes playing in Brazilian football.
In a 'quiz' conducted by 'ESPN', Garro had to decide which midfielder he thinks plays better. Thus, the Argentine chose Arrascaeta over Alan Patrick (Internacional), Matheus Pereira (Cruzeiro), Ganso (Fluminense), Philippe Coutinho (Vasco), and Everton Ribeiro (Bahia). Finally, the athlete opted for the former player Aimar over Flamengo's number 10.

Arrascaeta is experiencing one of his best moments with the Flamengo jersey. Currently, the athlete is a key player in the midfield of the red-black team. Moreover, the number 10 is in a goal-scoring phase, which places him at the top of the ranking in this aspect for Mengão in the Brasileirão, with 12 goals.
The good form of Arrascaeta at Flamengo has also extended to the Uruguayan National Team, as the athlete scored a stunning goal in Celeste's 3-0 victory over Peru on Thursday (04). Coach Marcelo Bielsa even praised the midfielder for his excellent performance.
Still serving Uruguay, Arrascaeta returns to the field next Tuesday (09) to face Chile in the final round of the Qualifiers. In summary, the match kicks off at 8:30 PM (Brasília time) at the National Stadium in Santiago. As usual, Coluna do Fla will provide details of the match through its website, YouTube, and social media.
