Uruguayans wowed by Arrascaeta’s stunner against Peru | OneFootball

Arrascaeta scores a stunning goal against Peru this Thursday (04)

One of the main players for Flamengo for years, Arrascaeta is frequently called up to the Uruguayan National Team. However, the midfielder’s performances had not been pleasing the Celeste fans. This Thursday (04), however, things changed: with a solid performance and a goal to his name, the number 10 for Flamengo earned praise from Uruguayan supporters.

Starting for the team, Arrascaeta played for 69 minutes and had an important role in the match. Shortly before leaving the field, in the 58th minute, the midfielder scored a beautiful goal that consolidated his great performance. After a play down the right, Varela crossed into the box, the defense cleared poorly and the ball landed at the feet of Arrasca, who struck it first time, perfectly, blasting the ball into Peru’s net with an unstoppable shot.

Translation: “This time, we saw the Arrascaeta who plays for Mengão, not the one who had been playing for Celeste.”

Translation: “Since the last match of the 2022 World Cup against Ghana, De Arrascaeta hadn’t shown, as he did today against Peru, his best footballing version for the national team. This is the De Arrascaeta from Flamengo.”

Translation: “Oh my God, we called up the De Arrascaeta from Flamengo. Impressive!”

Translation: “Great match from Giorgian… THIS IS HOW I ALWAYS WANT TO SEE YOU… WHY DO YOU PLAY LIKE WE ALWAYS WANT TO SEE YOU ONLY TODAY? WHY DO YOU MAKE US SUFFER? I have ‘High Hopes’ in you, De Arrascaeta.”

Besides the goal, the overall performance of Flamengo’s number 10 also drew praise from Uruguayan fans. With good movement, precise passes, and active participation in building up plays, Arrascaeta was one of the team’s standouts, showing the quality that made him famous in South American football.
