Arrascaeta downplays milestone after Flamengo win: "I give my best" | OneFootball

Flamengo did their job and defeated Sport 3-0 this Saturday, in the 31st round of the Brazilian Championship, at Maracanã Stadium, in Rio de Janeiro (RJ).

One of the goals in the victory was scored by Arrascaeta, who matched Doval’s record as the club’s top foreign scorer. The Uruguayan chose to downplay the achievement for now.

“I try to give my best for the team, for Flamengo. When I stop playing, I’ll realize the magnitude of what I achieved with Flamengo. I’ll keep working to help the club,” the player told SporTV as he left the field.

The midfielder admitted he wanted to start the match, but revealed a conversation with Filipe Luís.

“I told Filipe that whenever I’m fit, I want to play. But there are players who need playing time,” he concluded.

Flamengo’s position in the standings

With the win, the Rubro-Negro reached 64 points and provisionally took the lead in the competition. However, the team can still be overtaken by Palmeiras, who face Juventude this Sunday.
