Since 2011, the club hasn't had a coach from January to December of a single season, a feat last achieved by Vanderlei Luxemburgo. Filipe Luís is poised to break that streak in 2025 , and for Arrascaeta , this is one of the secrets to the team's success.


"I believe the most important thing, after so long, is to have a coach. Almost a year, after a long time without that, to continue the work. Each of us knows how Filipe Luís works; we have to give our all for the benefit of the club . That's how good it is. We're happy with him and our teammates; we've achieved important things," said Flamengo 's number 10.


BREAKING THE FLAMENGO TABOO


In the 2-0 victory over Juventude in Caxias do Sul, Arrascaeta opened the scoring in the 31st minute of the first half after a precise pass from Saúl. In the closing stages, Jorge Carrascal crossed and Emerson Royal scored his first goal for the Manto Sagrado . The two headers ended a historic drought: the team hadn't won at the Alfredo Jaconi stadium since 1997.

"It's never easy playing here. So much so that we hadn't won in Caxias for over 28 years . It shows the strength of the team in all competitions. The important thing was to keep winning to stay top, and we treated the game like another final," Arrascaeta added.


MENGÃO REACHES 50 POINTS

With Filipe Luís in charge, Mais Querido reached 50 points in the Brazilian Championship and still has one game less than its competitors.
