Flamengo introduced Jorge Carrascal this Monday (04), at the Ninho do Urubu Training Center. In a press conference, the new Flamengo recruit mentioned that he spoke with Jhon Arias, former Fluminense player, before arriving in Brazil.
— I talked to Berrio, who also played for Flamengo, and also with Jhon Arias, who was at Fluminense. I also spoke with Borré. They were happy about my arrival – he said, before concluding:
— They talked a bit about Brazilian football, how the field is, the style of play, which is competitive and somewhat matches my characteristics. I believe I will adapt and do well –, he concluded in a press conference this Monday (04).
Carrascal is now training with the Flamengo squad and is preparing to debut over the weekend. This is because the midfielder is not registered for the Copa do Brasil and therefore cannot play on Wednesday (06) against Atlético-MG.
Thus, Jorge Carrascal is expected to debut on Saturday (09), against Mirassol, for the 19th round of the Brazilian Championship. The match is scheduled for 6:30 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã, with broadcast by Premiere on pay-per-view.
