Bruno Henrique trusts in partnership with Arrascaeta to seek another Libertadores at Flamengo
0
The player had not reached this mark since August, but managed to renew it after the matches against Palmeiras and Fluminense
|
0After three months, Arrascaeta managed to score goals in two consecutive games. The star was responsible for the only time that Flamengo found the back of the opponent's net on Saturday night (11), against Fluminense. The classic match, valid for the 34th round of the Brazilian Championship, ended in a draw (1-1), but the Uruguayan, at least, left a little happier.
In Mais Querido's last match, Arrascaeta also scored a goal. The 3-0 victory over Palmeiras this Wednesday (08) had two goals from Pedro (one in the 18th minute and another in the 64th minute), while grindo helped with the second in the 29th minute of the first half.
The last time Arrasca scored in two consecutive games wearing the Sacred Mantle, this season, was in August. At the time, on the 16th, number 14 scored against Grêmio in the semi-final of the Copa do Brasil. Then, the midfielder returned to bring joy to the Nation in the following match, against Coritiba, in the 20th round of the Brasileirão.
This 2023 season was below expectations not only for the team, as a all over, but also to Arrascaeta. The star had to deal with some periods injured and has played 49 games this year. He scored ten goals and provided 11 assists to his teammates, also totaling 21 shots.
Flamengo will only play again on November 23rd, after 11 days without official matches due to DATA FIFA, when they face Bragantino. This appointment is a rescheduling of the 30th round of the Brazilian Championship and will take place at Maracanã at 9:30 pm (Brasília time).
The teams play the first game of the quarterfinals at 7 p.m.

Bruno Henrique takes the lead in Flamengo's attack after injuries to teammates
|
0With several casualties in the offensive sector, Bruno Henrique, 33 years old, will be the main name in Flamengo's attack in the next matches. The striker, who stands out for his long-standing partnership with Arrascaeta, believes that this harmony will be fundamental for the team to maintain its good performance in the competitions it competes in, such as the Brazilian Championship, the Libertadores and the Copa do Brasil.
"We are the players at the front. Arrascaeta is a classic midfielder, who knows how to create plays and finish. Being close to him increases the chances of scoring and assisting. With his quality and the more than six years we have played together, we understand each other just by looking at each other", stated Bruno Henrique in an interview with ESPN.
Flamengo will no longer have Pedro and Everton Cebolinha until the end of the season. Furthermore, Michael and Luiz Araújo are only expected to return to the pitch in the final stretch of 2024. Gabigol, who also faces physical problems, has been used less frequently. With this series of absences, the leading role falls to Bruno Henrique, who has the mission of leading the red and black attack at a decisive moment of the season.
To make up the offensive sector, Mais Querido also has newcomers Gonzalo Plata and Carlinhos, as well as young promises from the club's youth categories. Despite the losses, the expectation is that Bruno Henrique's experience and quality will be enough to keep the team competitive in competitions.
