Arrascaeta: Flamengo thriving, fans are my home | OneFootball

The midfielder Giorgian de Arrascaeta understands that Flamengo, with the achievement of the Brazilian Championship and Copa Libertadores titles, is reaping the rewards of hard work done throughout the season. This Wednesday, the Rubro-Negro was crowned national champion in advance by defeating Ceará 1-0.

“It's hard to explain the feeling at this moment. There are no words to explain to our fans. This group deserved it a lot, we worked hard all year, we are reaping the rewards of having a qualified squad, having a coach who gives his best every day. There's nothing to say, now it's time to celebrate with them,” said the athlete in an interview with SporTV.

Arrascaeta joined Flamengo in 2019 and is heading into his seventh year with the team. Since then, he has won 17 titles wearing the red and black jersey and has become the club's highest-scoring foreign player in history. During the interview, the midfielder watched the fans' celebration at Maracanã and expressed his connection with the team.

“I've been here for a long time. As I said, I've become another fan. I know what they feel, so I try to do my job as best as possible. I'm a human being, I have feelings, this is my home. I have no words to explain what Flamengo means to me,” he declared.

Flamengo now faces the last round of the Brazilian Championship and the Intercontinental Cup. For Arrascaeta, however, the moment is to celebrate with the fans.

“We're already at the end of the year. Obviously, the legs start to feel heavier, the heart too with the titles, now we have to think about celebrating with our fans, who have been with us all year. Then, we'll think about the next game,” concluded the Uruguayan.
