Vitinho makes bold Arrascaeta v Corinthians player comparison | OneFootball

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

Vitinho was part of the ‘magical’ Flamengo squad that won several titles under Jorge Jesus. Now at Corinthians, the player made a comparison between the 2019 Rubro-Negro squad and the current team from São Paulo. Finally, the forward pointed out similarities between Arrascaeta and Memphis Depay.

— The comparison is difficult, especially because of the playing style, with players who have different strengths. Arrascaeta, Ribeiro, Bruno Henrique, Gabigol… Here we have Yuri Alberto, who plays in a style similar to Gabriel, a fast player who attacks space, protects the ball well, and gets into finishing positions, he said, before concluding:

— Memphis is that player who pulls a play out of the hat, who does something different, just like Arrascaeta used to do. I think the comparison doesn’t really exist because of the game systems and performances on the field. That’s why they are top-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 racked up records and titles with the Sacred Mantle. This season, the midfielder became the number 10 for the Rubro-Negro and is experiencing one of his best spells at the club.

Looking at Arrascaeta’s time at Flamengo, the player has won important titles. Among them are: two Copa Libertadores (2019 and 2022), two Brazilian Championships (2019 and 2020), and two Copa do Brasil titles (2022 and 2024).

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S NEXT MATCH?

While Vitinho continues at Corinthians, Arrascaeta is once again available to Filipe Luís at Flamengo. Thus, the number 10, who returned from the Uruguayan National Team, is expected to start in Mengão’s next match of the season.

Flamengo returns to the pitch this Saturday (22nd) 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 their website and social media.
