August ended for Flamengo with the maintenance of the leadership of the Brasileirão and survival in the Libertadores. There were eight games in 31 days and, according to the Rubro-Negra Nation, one player stood out from the rest during this period. That's because, the Most Beloved revealed, this Tuesday (02), the star of the past month elected by the fans.
Thus, De Arrascaeta won the vote, conducted on social networks, which outvoted Jorginho, Pedro and Saúl. The number 10 scored four goals and provided five assists in the eight games of August. "You chose and Giorgian De Arrascaeta is the star of the month of August!", celebrates the publication of Flamengo.
In numbers, De Arrascaeta is close to approaching his best season with the Sacred Mantle. The number 10 has 17 goals and 13 assists in 42 matches. In 2019, however, the Uruguayan scored 18 times and served his teammates on 19 occasions.
In the Brasileirão, specifically, the Uruguayan reached 22 participations in goals, the same amount that Estêvão did for Palmeiras in the entire 2024 edition. Therefore, De Arrascaeta needed fewer games to match the leader of the past statistic.
At the moment, De Arrascaeta is with the Uruguayan National Team, as are Matías Viña and Guillermo Varela. So, the trio from Flamengo that was called up by Marcelo Bielsa is training to face Peru and Chile in this FIFA Date.
After the FIFA Date, the red-black team faces Juventude on the 14th of this month, starting at 4 pm (Brasília time), in a match valid for the 23rd round of the Brazilian Championship. The game will take place at Alfredo Jaconi, in Caxias do Sul.
