Agustín Canobbio , a fellow countryman and Uruguayan teammate of the Mengão star, revealed that he has watched the midfielder's games since he was a child .
I would go with my father to watch Arrascaeta's games"
In recent years, the fan had the opportunity to play alongside his idol in the Uruguayan National Team .

FLA-FLU CHOKING

In addition, Mais Querido won the Rio de Janeiro title precisely in the final against Tricolor . For this reason, the Uruguayan striker admitted that Mengão is "choking".
The Fla-Flu is very good. It didn't work out for us, but the experience was very good. There is a lot to improve and, during the year, it will work out. It's something that I have in my head: to win a Fla-Flu. I want to win, there is a lot of work to do”, declared Canobbio.
NEXT FLA-FLU

Flamengo 's captain and key player on the field, Gerson is enjoying a great moment with the fans, while rumors suggest that possible internal dissatisfaction may arise due to salary issues and contract renewal , especially after controversial statements from his father and agent.
Given this scenario and speculation about millionaire offers for the Joker, journalist Paparazzo Rubro-Negro stated that Gerson's days at Mais Querido may be numbered .
I think Gerson will end up leaving Flamengo"
On his YouTube channel, "Papa" said that the feeling is that the player will leave the club after the World Cup , highlighting a farewell tone in some of the midfielder's speeches and suggesting that there is already a significant proposal on the table.
"I think Gerson will end up leaving Flamengo , you know, after the World Cup. He's getting his act together, already making it clear that he wants to come back and end his career later. The impression I have is that he already has an offer in hand, something big for Gerson, okay?", said Paparazzo.
JOURNALIST SHOWS CONCERN ABOUT THE SITUATION
Considered one of the best players in Brazilian football, finding a replacement for Gerson would be a huge challenge for Flamengo 's board. Paparazzo Rubro-Negro expressed concern about the possible departure of the Joker and questioned how the club would fill this gap. However, he believes that the current management is preparing for this eventuality , highlighting the search for a reserve number 10 and the well-underway signing of Jorginho .
"And we're going to make the most of every moment he has at Flamengo now, right? The only concern is whether the others who are coming will be able to handle it, but I think so. It looks like Flamengo is getting it right to sign a number 10 , right? In addition to Jorginho, who we've already brought in, thank God, everything is coming together," he declared.
MARCÃO SAYS RENEWAL IS MOVING FORWARD
In a recent interview, after Flamengo's debut in the Brasileirão – which Gerson missed due to fatigue –, his father and agent, Marcão, guaranteed that the contract renewal is underway and without complications.
"It's being resolved, as I said in previous interviews. Flamengo's board is resolving the issue , everything is fine. There are no difficulties at all," said Marcão.
