Vitinho makes bold Arrascaeta v Corinthians player comparison | OneFootball

What did Vitinho, former Flamengo and current Corinthians forward, say?

Vitinho was part of the 'magical' squad of Flamengo, which won several titles with Jorge Jesus. Now at Corinthians, the player made a comparison between the 2019 Rubro-Negro squad and the current São Paulo team. Finally, the forward pointed out similar characteristics between Arrascaeta and Memphis Depay.

— The comparison is difficult, even because of the playing style, with players having different vocations. Arrascaeta, Ribeiro, Bruno Henrique, Gabigol… Here we have Yuri Alberto who plays in a style similar to Gabriel, a player with speed who attacks space, protects the ball well, and arrives to finish, he said, before concluding:

— Memphis is that player who pulls a trick out of the hat, who does something different, like Arrascaeta used to do. I think the comparison doesn't exist because of the playing systems and performances on the field. That's why they are high-level players, Vitinho concluded.

WHAT IS ARRASCAETA'S TRAJECTORY AT FLAMENGO?

Arrascaeta has been making history with the Flamengo jersey since 2019. Since then, the Uruguayan has accumulated records and titles with the Sacred Mantle. This season, the midfielder has become the number 10 of the Rubro-Negro and is experiencing one of his best phases at the club.

Reviewing Arrascaeta's time at Flamengo, the athlete has won important titles. Among them are: two Libertadores of America (2019 and 2022), two Brazilian Championships (2019 and 2020), and two Brazil Cups (2022 and 2024).

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S NEXT GAME?

While Vitinho continues at Corinthians, Arrascaeta is back at Filipe Luís's disposal at Flamengo. Thus, the number 10, who returned from the Uruguayan National Team, is expected to start in the next Mengão game of the season.

Flamengo returns to the field this Saturday (22) to face Red Bull Bragantino, at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã. In this way, Coluna do Fla TV will show the details of the match on YouTube, as well as on the website and social media.
