Carrascal reveals his plan to improve at Flamengo: "I always try to..." | OneFootball

How Did Carrascal Quickly Earn His Spot at Flamengo?

During the press conference this Tuesday (30), at Ninho do Urubu, Jorge Carrascal commented on his good start wearing the Flamengo jersey. The question posed by Coluna do Fla was whether the midfielder expected to make an immediate impact. The Colombian avoided making predictions and emphasized the importance of daily effort.

— No, I think, well, I'm very happy about everything, about what’s happening. I don’t always have expectations, I always try to work, work day by day, give my best, work with humility and put effort into things. And I think, well, this is the result of working with focus, because everywhere the path is difficult, he began.

— And I think, well, when I got here, I took on the challenge and I believe we are moving forward, working to get better every day, improving, the midfielder concluded.

DID CARRASCAL QUICKLY EARN HIS SPOT IN FLAMENGO'S MIDFIELD?

Carrascal arrived at Flamengo in the second transfer window of 2025 as a replacement for Arrascaeta in specific matches. However, with little time at the club, he already shows adaptation and quality. His performance against Corinthians reinforced this perception.

On Sunday (28), the midfielder played his second consecutive match as a starter in the Brazilian Championship. His performance on the right side of midfield was decisive in the 2-1 comeback win. Carrascal provided assists for the goals scored by Arrascaeta and Luiz Araújo.

WHAT IS CARRASCAL'S TACTICAL IMPACT?

The player has shown good reading of the game and precision in passing in the attacking zone. In addition, he maintained intensity throughout the 90 minutes, something valued by the coaching staff. His versatility could expand his role within the squad in the coming rounds.

Filipe Luís is closely watching his development and is considering new opportunities for the Colombian. The sequence of matches and the physical demands of the schedule reinforce the need for reliable options.

The next challenge for Flamengo will be against Cruzeiro, on Thursday (02), at Maracanã, for the 26th round of the Brazilian Championship. The match kicks off at 8:30 PM (Brasília time).
