Last Saturday (6), the match between Brazil and Uruguay generated a series of comments on social media, mainly due to a video that showed Uruguayan midfielder Giorgian De Arrascaeta apparently ignoring coach Dorival Júnior. The alleged episode of disregard was soon widely debated by fans and the sports media. However, Arrascaeta went public to clarify the situation and ensure that there is no misunderstanding between him and the Brazilian coach.


In his statement, Arrascaeta explained that he had already spoken with Dorival Júnior before the video that circulated, highlighting that there was no any intention of disrespect or indifference. "I spoke to him before the game, everything is calm between us," said the player. With this, Arrascaeta sought to calm tempers and end any speculation about a possible disagreement.


THERE WAS NO RUSSAL BETWEEN ARRASCAETA AND DORIVAL


The match in question was marked by high expectations, given the history of clashes between the two South American teams. Brazil and Uruguay always host intense duels, and the presence of players who play for big clubs increases fans' interest even further.

Dorival Júnior, in turn, did not make any specific comments about the video or the alleged lack of compliance. The coach preferred to focus on analyzing the team's performance and strategies for the next games. He highlighted the importance of maintaining the group's concentration and cohesion, avoiding being distracted by extra-field issues.
