"Our team is mature enough to deal with defeats. We know we need to improve in some aspects, and everyone is committed to doing that," he said.
Arrascaeta also praised Flamengo fans, who turned out in large numbers number to the stadium in Porto Alegre and gave unconditional support to the team. "The fans always support us, at home or away. We know they are sad about the defeat, just like us, but I hope they continue to support us, because we need them," said the midfielder.
