“One of my best decisions”: Flamengo player praises the club | OneFootball

Jorge Carrascal joined Flamengo mid-year and is enchanted with the club

Jorge Carrascal was Flamengo's last signing of the year. The Colombian arrived with the status of ‘backup for Arrascaeta’. However, the number 15 impressed Filipe Luís and became a starter. The feeling is mutual, as the midfielder is also in love with Mengão and made the right decision to transfer from Russia to Mengão.

— I made good choices in my life. Coming back to South America, to Flamengo, is one of the best decisions of my life. God gives me this gratitude of being a champion of the Copa Libertadores with such a great team — said Carrascal, in an interview with the Colombian portal ‘Primer Tiempo’.

— Since I arrived, I felt the support of my teammates, Filipe Luís and his affection from the beginning was fundamental, and it made me flow from the start… thanks to them I was able to adapt very well. The adaptation depended on the fact that there are many Argentine, Uruguayan, and Chilean players. Knowing that the coach speaks Spanish is fundamental for us. And he gave me this freedom, this confidence, so that I could adapt quickly — he added.

HOW IS CARRASCAL DOING AT FLAMENGO?

Announced on August 2nd, after Flamengo's investment of R$ 77 million with Dynamo Moscow (RUS), Carrascal won over the fans after goals against Vasco in the Brasileirão, and the goal that put Mengo in the final of the Libertadores, against Racing (ARG).

So far, there are 23 games with the Sacred Mantle, with three goals and five assists. The Colombian has been an absolute starter, even starting the final of the Libertadores, the title match of the Brasileirão, and the two matches held in the Club World Cup.

THE GREATEST GLORY OF HIS CAREER?

Champion of the Libertadores and the Brasileirão in five months, now Carrascal wants the world. On Wednesday (17), the Most Beloved faces PSG (FRA) in the intercontinental final, starting at 2 PM (Brasília time). Thus, Coluna do Fla will cover the match directly from the Asian country.
