A video went viral this Friday (24) on social media. Flamengo midfielder Jorginho was enjoying some time off at the beach when he was approached by a street vendor. The man, who identified himself as a Vasco fan, then called the Italian-Brazilian player Arrascaeta.
“Damn, guys. Does anyone know who this Flamengo player is? Everyone’s taking pictures with this guy here. Who is this guy? That’s Arrascaeta, Uruguay’s number 10. A homegrown player, a Flamengo player. Arrascaeta, man,” said the vendor. With an awkward laugh, Jorginho replied: “Thanks, that’s right.”
On social media, fans were unsure whether the supporter’s ‘blunder’ was real or just a joke. “As if he doesn’t know it’s Jorginho,” one said. “What a scene, man,” another wrote. “What a character,” laughed one Flamengo fan online.
After his beach break, Jorginho is ready to strengthen Flamengo. Back from injury, the midfielder was on the bench on Wednesday (22) against Vitória in the Copa do Brasil, but he is expected to start this Sunday (26) against Atlético-MG at Arena MRV.
As for Arrascaeta — the real one — he also got some rest in the Copa do Brasil. The Uruguayan only came on in the second half and is also expected to start the match on Belo Horizonte’s team’s artificial turf at 8:30 p.m. Brasília time, in a clash valid for the 13th round of the Brasileirão.
That said, Coluna do Fla will provide the best coverage of the match on the website, social media, and YouTube. The broadcast of Atlético-MG vs Flamengo will be on the subscription channels SporTV and Premiere. For Mengão, it’s a chance to chase down leaders Palmeiras.
