Flamengo is already lined up to face Vasco this Sunday (21), for the 24th round of the Brasileirão. In the starting team, coach Filipe Luís surprised and put Jorge Carrascal in place of Arrascaeta in midfield.
In the formation initially molded, Carrascal will play the role of a 'number 10' in Flamengo's team this Sunday (21). It is important to stress that the club hired the Colombian with the intention of being Arrascaeta's replacement.
On several occasions, Carrascal made it clear that he did not come to compete with the number 10 of Mengão, as he also performs other functions within the team. Filipe Luís, in fact, even used the player as a left winger. However, this Sunday (21), the Colombian will be more centralized.
Besides Carrascal, Filipe Luís made some changes to the team for the game against Vasco. On the right side, Emerson Royal takes Varela's place, while Ayrton Lucas remains on the left.
In the defense, Danilo starts alongside Léo Pereira. In midfield, Allan inherited the first defensive midfielder position. Finally, Plata, Cebolinha and Bruno Henrique form the offensive trio of Mengão.
