Arrascaeta Criticized for Play During Flamengo vs. Corinthians Match

A play in the 1-1 draw between Fla and Corinthians resulted in criticism from fans towards Arrascaeta. Thus, presenter Dani Boaventura from Flamengo TV defended the red-black idol and urged patience from the Nation.

— Are you crazy? Are you disconnected from reality? With amnesia? Because there are fans going to insult Arrascaeta because, oh, ‘he made a wrong decision’. ‘Because the player didn't pass the ball to Lino and tried to score, ended up shooting poorly, ended up losing the play’. And then there are people saying: ‘My God, what an absurdity, Arrascaeta has to leave, Arrascaeta has to go’ -, highlighted Dani, who added:

— And, man, we are talking about one of the greatest names in the history of Flamengo (…) and at a time when there was a change of coach. There have only been five games with Leonardo Jardim. And so, common sense says that, at the very least, you have to wait for the new coach's idea to be ingrained in the team's minds as a whole, for the coach's game model to be automated before you demand anything -, stated the journalist.

Did Arrascaeta Respond to the Criticism?

After Sunday's game (22), Arrascaeta posted a brief outburst on social media this Monday (23). “My history here is written with loyalty,” typed the star over a photo, which Dani Boaventura reposted.

— So, if at this moment Arrascaeta is playing differently than before, it's obvious that it will require a new adaptation. But for you to go and bother him because he made the wrong decision on the field, or because the choice he made didn't result in a goal this time, for God's sake -, defended the presenter.

What Was the Play by Arrascaeta in Question?

At the beginning of the second half, Arrascaeta drove down the right against two Corinthians players. On the left, Samuel Lino was entering the area freely waiting for the pass. However, the number 10 ignored the assist and tried to finish the play, which ended in red-black frustration.
