Who Was Plata, Flamengo's Forward, Talking About?

Flamengo shared a video last Tuesday (02), in which the players mentioned their personal idols. When it was Gonzalo Plata's turn, the Ecuadorian surprised everyone by being a fan of Jorge Carrascal, the newly signed player of Mengão.

Through social media, Flamengo shared the athletes' responses. In this context, Arrascaeta mentioned Riquelme as his idol, while Bruno Henrique and Samuel Lino, for example, chose Ronaldo Fenômeno. When it was Plata's turn, he gave a shout-out to Carrascal, his teammate.

It's important to note that Plata and Carrascal have only recently started their journey with the team, but they already show a good rapport off the field. This is because, while the Ecuadorian has been playing for the Rubro-Negro since last season, the Colombian was the last addition to the club during the mid-year transfer window.

WHAT ARE PLATA AND CARRASCAL'S SITUATIONS AT FLAMENGO?

Plata has a longer history with Flamengo due to his time at the club. The forward has already accumulated titles and played a crucial role in the triumph of the Copa do Brasil 2024, when he scored the last goal for Mengão against Atlético-MG, at Arena MRV. Meanwhile, Carrascal is going through an adaptation process, but Filipe Luís is giving him playing time in matches.

WERE PLATA AND CARRASCAL CALLED UP?

Due to the FIFA International Match Calendar, Plata and Carrascal will be absent from Flamengo in the coming days, as they have been called up by Ecuador and Colombia, respectively. However, once the international matches are over, the duo will be available again for coach Filipe Luís.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S NEXT GAME?

With Plata and Carrascal back, Flamengo will face Juventude on September 14 (Sunday), for the 23rd round of the Brasileirão. The match will kick off at 4 PM (Brasília time), at Alfredo Jaconi Stadium, in Caxias do Sul. Thus, Coluna do Fla TV will show the details of the match on YouTube.
