Arrascaeta vents after Flamengo v Inter: “No other way to win” | OneFootball

Flamengo Fans Booed the Team at Halftime and After the Game Against Internacional

The season for Flamengo started completely opposite to what the fans had imagined. After a magical 2025, 2026 is filled with boos from the Nation. This Wednesday (04), after a 1-1 draw with Internacional at Maracanã, the red-black fans criticized the team. Scorer of Flamengo's goal, Arrascaeta vented.

— We know we have to improve. Winning at home today was very important. The fans do their part, I've played here for a long time. I don't know the feeling, the passion of the fan. Now, it's up to us to lift our heads and work hard. And, as always, show it on the field — said Arrascaeta.

“There's no other way. The fans can believe in this team, in this group, because in difficult moments this group has always responded,” added the Uruguayan, who scored Flamengo's goal from a penalty. Rafael Santos Borré opened the scoring for Internacional.

HOW WAS THE GAME?

Even with more ball possession and more shots, Flamengo couldn't create great chances. In a counterattack at the end of the first half, Borré opened the scoring. Thus, the Red-Black went to the locker room under heavy boos from the fans and heard “it's not easy, to play for Mengo you have to be willing.”

In the second half, Varela suffered a penalty from Bernabei. On the penalty kick, Arrascaeta equalized. The draw made the Nation support the team until the final whistle, but with the result, new boos followed. With the result at Maracanã, Flamengo marks the fourth consecutive game without victories this year.

IS IT TIME FOR A TURNAROUND?

In summary, Flamengo has a good chance to steer away from the crisis on Saturday (07), when they face Sampaio Corrêa, in the last round of the classification phase of the Campeonato Carioca. The match kicks off at 9 PM (Brasília time), once again at Maracanã.
