The Flamengo finalized the transfer window with four signings, the last being Colombian midfielder Jorge Carrascal, formerly of Dynamo Moscow (RUS). Therefore, according to Zinho, former player of Mengão, the player will not have enough space due to the great phase of Arrascaeta.
"It will be hard for Carrascal to play. The 'mocking' one is smashing it. It's one of the best seasons of Arrascaeta. Of the Flamengo signings, only Carrascal will not be a starter", said Zinho, former player of Flamengo, during an ESPN program this Thursday (04).
— Perhaps, wanting to show the quality he has, he ended up losing a lot of space and not creating the situations we imagined so that he could be more decisive. We have a player with a lot of talent in our squad and we will polish him so that he can become an idol of the fans in the coming years —, he concluded.
The Flamengo closed the signing of Jorge Carrascal at the beginning of last month, when they bought the player from Dynamo Moscow. To conclude the deal with the Russian team, the red-black team paid out 12 million euros (R$ 77 million at the time).
Since arriving at Flamengo, Jorge Carrascal has played little. This is because the Colombian midfielder has participated in only three games, totaling 70 minutes in total. During this period, he played twice against Internacional and once against Vitória. He did not score goals or provide assists.
