Since his return to Flamengo after participating in the Copa América, Uruguayan midfielder Giorgian De Arrascaeta has been a key player in Rubro-Negro's resumption of leadership in the Brazilian Championship. Despite a discreet participation in the Uruguayan team during the tournament, Arrascaeta has shown an impressive performance under the command of Tite, contrasting with his performance in the team led by Marcelo Bielsa.
In the campaign that guaranteed third place for Uruguay in the United States, Arrascaeta participated in five games, however, he started in only one. During the tournament, he scored no goals and contributed one assist, a performance considered modest for a player of his caliber. However, upon returning to the Flamengo, the midfielder showed a renewed hunger for goals and a performance that has been decisive for the Rio team.
Since returning to the club, Arrascaeta has directly participated in all of Flamengo's goals. This performance has been crucial for the team, which was looking to regain the lead in the Brazilian Championship. Under Tite's guidance, the midfielder has found the environment and confidence necessary to explore his full potential.
The change of scenery, from the environment of the Uruguayan national team to the Flamengo, it seems to have been beneficial to Arrascaeta. While in Bielsa's team he failed to shine, at Flamengo, he has shown that he is an outstanding player, essential for the club's ambitions in the championship. The difference in performance can be attributed to several factors, including the coaches' playing style and team dynamics.
