Jorginho or Arrascaeta? Seller's gaffe meeting Flamengo star on beach | OneFootball

Street vendor found Jorginho on the beach and called him Arrascaeta

A video went viral this Friday (24) on social media. Flamengo midfielder Jorginho was enjoying some time off at the beach when he was approached by a street vendor. The seller, who identified himself as a Vasco fan, then called the Italian-Brazilian player Arrascaeta.

“Damn, guys. Does anyone know who this Flamengo player is? Everyone’s taking pictures with this guy here. Who is this guy? That’s Arrascaeta, Uruguay’s number 10. Homegrown player, Flamengo player. Arrascaeta, man,” said the vendor. With an awkward laugh, Jorginho replied: “Thanks, that’s right.”

HOW DID THE VIDEO GO OVER?

On social media, fans were unsure whether the supporter’s ‘blunder’ was real or just a joke. “As if he doesn’t know that’s Jorginho,” said one. “What a laugh, man,” wrote another. “What a character,” joked one Flamengo fan online.

SO, WILL JORGINHO AND ARRASCAETA PLAY AGAINST ATLÉTICO-MG?

After his time off at the beach, Jorginho is ready to strengthen Flamengo. Recovered from injury, the midfielder was on the bench on Wednesday (22) against Vitória in the Copa do Brasil, but he is expected to start this Sunday (26) against Atlético-MG at Arena MRV.

As for Arrascaeta—the real one—he also got some rest in the Copa do Brasil. The Uruguayan only came on in the second half and is also expected to start the clash on Belo Horizonte’s team’s synthetic pitch at 8:30 p.m. (Brasília time), in a match valid for the 13th round of the Brasileirão.
