Foreign paper hails Flamengo star during FIFA break: "A Uruguay led by..." | OneFootball

Arrascaeta scored one of the three goals in Uruguay's victory over Peru in the Qualifiers

In great form at Flamengo, Arrascaeta was one of the main highlights in Uruguay's 3-0 win over Peru on Thursday (04), in the World Cup Qualifiers. After the match, both fans and the press praised the scorer of one of the three goals.

The Uruguayan portal Montevideo, for example, stated that the red-black athlete participated in the entire game and never stopped trying. The headline also points out that Arrascaeta led Uruguay alongside Valverde and Bentancur against Peru.

“He [Arrascaeta] was active throughout the entire offensive phase. He was eager and kept shooting from mid-range, accumulating opportunities. He was rewarded in the second half, when he made it 2-0 for the Celeste, to the applause of the fans,” highlighted the Uruguayan newspaper.

What did the coach say?

“Regarding De Arrascaeta, I would like to give special recognition to the technical and medical staff of Flamengo, who made De Arrascaeta a different player this season, this year, from the one I initially met,” said coach Marcelo Bielsa.

And the fans?

“This time, we saw the Arrascaeta who plays for Mengão, not the one who had been playing for the Celeste,” commented a Uruguayan fan on X, formerly Twitter. “Since the last match of the 2022 World Cup against Ghana, De Arrascaeta hadn't shown, as he did today against Peru, his best footballing version for the national team. This is the De Arrascaeta of Flamengo,” said another.

When does Arrascaeta return to Flamengo?

Before returning to Flamengo, however, Arrascaeta's Uruguay will face Chile in Santiago on Tuesday (09). Then, at the end of the FIFA break, the number 10 will wear the Sacred Mantle to play against Juventude on September 14, at Alfredo Jaconi, in Caxias do Sul.
