Arrascaeta sends message after fans' boos in Flamengo v Santos clash | OneFootball

Flamengo fans booed the team after the end of the first half

Flamengo beat Santos 3-1 this Sunday (05), in the tenth round of the Brasileirão. Despite the result, the Rubro-Negro had a lackluster first half and left the field to boos from the fans. Team captain Arrascaeta revealed the accountability message shared among the Mengão squad.

— We talked among ourselves (the players), you go from heaven to hell in practically four or five days. I’ve been at the club for many years, I know the club very well, and I know the fans will support the team along with the victories and the commitment shown in every match -, he said, before concluding:

— When we talk about responsibility, we know we are also representing many people out there on the field. We have to try to do our best and think that every game from now on is a final -, concluded Arrascaeta.

Were Flamengo players booed against Santos?

Yes! Flamengo controlled the action during the first half, but failed to trouble Santos. As a result, after the 3-0 loss to Red Bull Bragantino on Thursday (02), the rubro-negro fans ‘lost patience’ and booed the team as they headed to the locker room at halftime.

However, after conceding a goal to Santos early in the second half, Flamengo ‘woke up’ and came from behind. Pedro, Jorginho and Lucas Paquetá found the net for the Rubro-Negro.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

With Arrascaeta available, Flamengo return to the field on Wednesday (08) to make their Libertadores debut. At Estádio Inca Garcilaso de la Vega in Peru, the Rubro-Negro will face Cusco (PER) at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), in the opening round of the continental competition.

So, as tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match between Flamengo and Cusco through YouTube, the website and social media. However, GE TV (YouTube), Globo (free-to-air TV) and Paramount+ (streaming) will broadcast the Libertadores match.
