Arrascaeta mocks commentator in Flamengo match | OneFootball

Injured, Arrascaeta joked around by commentating Pedro’s goal against Estudiantes (ARG)

In Spanish-speaking countries in South America, the main Copa Libertadores commentator is Argentine Mariano Closs. In Uruguay for the final stage of his recovery from a fractured collarbone, Arrascaeta watched Flamengo’s match against Estudiantes (ARG) on an Argentine broadcast. In a lighthearted mood, the No. 10 imitated the renowned broadcaster while calling Pedro’s goal.

“Pedro scores, 1-0 to Mengão,” said, among other things, Arrascaeta, imitating Mariano Closs’s unmistakable voice. Besides the No. 10, Thiago, the son of the star’s wife, also had fun using the commentator’s tone.

Mariano Closs called Pedro’s goal in the 19th minute of the second half. Bruno Henrique tried an individual move down the left, but pushed the ball too far ahead. Still, opposing goalkeeper Fernando Muslera tried to intercept it, failed, and gifted it straight to the No. 9, who made no mistake.

WHY IS ARRASCAETA IN URUGUAY?

Unable to play until June, Arrascaeta was released by Flamengo to spend the final stretch of his recovery from a fractured collarbone with Uruguay’s medical department. The No. 10 is racing against time to be fit for La Celeste’s World Cup opener on the 15th against Saudi Arabia.

SO, WHERE WILL YOU WATCH IT, ARRASCAETA?

Since Mariano Closs only calls Libertadores matches, Arrascaeta will need to find another channel in Uruguay to watch Flamengo take on Palmeiras this Saturday (23) at the Maracanã. Kickoff is at 9 p.m. Brasília time, with full coverage from Coluna do Fla on the website, social media, and YouTube.
