Filipe Luís on using Carrascal at Flamengo: "Huge quality" | OneFootball

Jorge Carrascal arrived at Flamengo in this transfer window

Flamengo announced the signing of midfielder Jorge Carrascal as a reinforcement for the rest of the season. Last Saturday (09), the Colombian was related to the confrontation against Mirassol, but did not leave the bench. Thus, coach Filipe Luís commented on the player and explained how he intends to use him.

— He is a player with great talent and quality. We saw that this week. Today I was sure to put him in Arrascaeta's place, but I felt at that moment that the team needed to press Mirassol. He still doesn't have the micro details of the pressure, while Bruno Henrique does —, Filipe Luís began.

— He is a player that I have hope will be an idol of the club in the next few years. The fan will be delighted by how well he treats the ball. I see him in the same way as Arrascaeta, but he can play openly. He can play in the four attacking positions. He will be a very important player for us —, the coach finished.

HOW DID CARRASCAL ARRIVE?

Flamengo announced the signing of Jorge Carrascal in this transfer window. The red-black team disbursed 12 million euros (R$ 77 million at the time) to hire the athlete who was at Dynamo Moscow. The Colombian signed a contract until June 2029.
