Flamengo is focused on the winning streak in the next five rounds of the Brazilian Championship. To achieve this, Rubro Negro will be able to count on the talent of the duo Arrascaeta and Gerson, who lead the Brasileirão in the number of great chances created.

According to the Sofascore portal, Arrascaeta and Gerson created 11 goal chances each during the Brazilian Championship. Mais Querido's players are tied with Eduardo, from Botafogo, but are ahead in the rankings due to having played fewer games in the points tournament.

Arrascaeta leads the list with 11 chances created in just 23 Brazilian Championship matches. The Uruguayan star averages 0.47 per game. Gerson, who played most of his 27 games in a more offensive position, has a slightly lower average of 0.40.

The Rubro Negro duo also leads in actions with the ball in the offensive field, which explains the number of chances created. However, it is important to remember that the numbers do not mean plays that ended in goals, but rather plays with a high probability of the team scoring.

THE DOUBLE LEADS SHARE IN GOALS FOR FLAMENGO

The chances created by Gerson and Arrascaeta also results in a high number of direct participation in goals. In this edition of the Brazilian Championship, Rubro Negro's number 20 scored five goals, made seven assists and leads Flamengo with 12 appearances.


Arrascaeta scored in Mais Querido's last match, in the classic against Fluminense, and participated in Flamengo's 11th goal in the Brasileirão. In total, there are six goals and five assists from number 14 in the tournament, tied with Pedro. However, the midfielder played six fewer games than the number 9.
