In a press conference, the number 15 explained where on the field he feels most comfortable.

— I felt good on the right side too, I can play on the left side, I think I feel good in the entire attacking area, in all parts of the attack. I've played as an 8, as a 10, I've played as a winger on the right, on the left, also as a midfielder -, he said, before continuing:

— I watch a lot of football too, I see a lot of movements from different positions, and I always try to do that on the field, on any side they put me, the idea is to help -, he concluded.

WHAT IS FILIPE LUÍS' ASSESSMENT?

In the victory against Corinthians, Carrascal played as a playmaker alongside Arrascaeta. Filipe Luís stated that he had been training the Colombian in this role for about two weeks. "He understood well. What a player! The game he played was impressive", he declared.

The coach highlighted the player's importance for the team's fluidity. "He gives the team a looseness, he clears the plays, he has a vision of the game, he connects with his teammates." It's worth noting that Carrascal also provided two assists in the match.

WHAT ARE THE EXPECTATIONS FOR THE NEXT GAME?

Filipe Luís pointed out that the role requires more physical effort from Carrascal. "He had to run more than he is used to. Now it's a matter of adaptation." The red-black team is already preparing to face Cruzeiro.

Therefore, the match takes place on Thursday (02), at 8:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the 26th round of the Brazilian Championship. The match will be broadcast on Premiere. Furthermore, the complete coverage will be provided by Coluna do Fla.
