Flamengo’s 4-0 thrashing of Atlético-MG on Sunday (26) impressed much of the media. Former player Denilson, an idol of Palmeiras and São Paulo, said that the Rubro-Negro stroll came cheap, suggesting that the Minas Gerais side got off lightly.
E a diferença do Arrascaeta e do Ruan na entrevista mostra como foi o jogo entre Galo e Flamengo...–
— Did you see Ruan in the post-match interview? He was drenched in sweat, completely out of breath. Then it cuts to Arrascaeta, and Arrascaeta looks like he’s just about to start playing now. Calm, won, played well. I think that really reflects what the match was like -, Denilson said, before adding:
— Flamengo had a field day. Especially in the second half, if they had played 20% of what they did in the first, they would have scored at least 3 or 4 more against Galo. Galo was unrecognizable -, said the former player, now a SporTV pundit.
In fact, Ruan was sweating during the sideline interview. The defender therefore agreed with the pundit, saying it “was an atypical day and nothing worked” for Atlético-MG. Arrascaeta, meanwhile, congratulated the entire Rubro-Negro squad for the great performance at Arena MRV.
Matchday 13 of the Brasileirão featured two goals from Pedro, one from Gonzalo Plata, and one from Arrascaeta. As a result, Rossi only had to make two saves throughout the full 90 minutes at Arena MRV.
Looking for another positive result, Flamengo face Estudiantes (ARG) this Wednesday (29) in the third round of Group A of the Libertadores. The match kicks off at 9:30 p.m. Brasília time at Jorge Luis Hirschi Stadium in Argentina.
So, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of Flamengo’s match through YouTube, the website, and social media. The broadcast rights, however, belong to Globo (free-to-air TV) and Paramount+ (streaming).
