Petkovic gives Carrascal 3 tips after red card in Flamengo v Palmeiras | OneFootball

What did Petkovic, a Flamengo idol, say to Carrascal?

Carrascal is not going through a great spell wearing the Flamengo shirt, especially after being sent off in the match against Palmeiras. For this reason, the red-and-black idol Petkovic gave the midfielder three pieces of advice in this delicate moment: keep his head up, ignore the criticism, and focus more on the upcoming matches.

— My advice to Carrascal is this: keep your head up, forget the criticism. Focus more next time so it doesn’t happen again, and play your game, because you are a good player and you can help Flamengo,” he said.

Why did Carrascal receive a red card against Palmeiras?

Carrascal raised his foot too high and hit Palmeiras center back Murilo in the face in the 20th minute of the first half. As a result, the referee showed the Colombian a straight red card.

Flamengo, therefore, saw Palmeiras extend their lead at the top of the table. Now, the Most Beloved is seven points behind the São Paulo side. However, Abel Ferreira’s team has played one more match.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

Flamengo’s next match is against Cusco (PER) at the Maracanã this Tuesday (26), in the final round of the Libertadores group stage. The match will kick off at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time).
