Gerson, it is worth remembering that there is a good chance that the game against Bayern marked his farewell to the team. The midfielder is coveted by Zenit, from Russia, and also by Al-Nassr, from Saudi Arabia. Regardless of his fate, it seems unlikely that Gerson will have more chapters with the Flamengo shirt.
Although he left Brazil hearing insults at AeroFla because of the possibility of leaving, Gerson showed great focus and determination in the World Cup. The beautiful goal against Bayern crowned a very stable campaign, positively speaking.
Against Chelsea, he had already taken the lead in building the game towards a comeback. Against the Germans, with their high tactical and physical confrontation, he won duels, appeared in front and was crucial in bringing Flamengo to moments of stability, even after the chaos that was the first 10 minutes.
The Uruguayan, on the other hand, was lacking in the most intense moments of the competition. His talent is recognized almost without restriction. But his physical capacity raises questions. In a more intense game environment, he ends up disappearing or being much less effective.
Against Chelsea, his departure to make way for Bruno Henrique changed the game completely. Against Bayern, the same substitution was made. Arrascaeta struggled with long balls, was unable to launch counterattacks and even lost the ball at the start of the second goal. He was unable to sustain possession when defender Upamecano increased the pressure in the red-black midfield. The second half of Flamengo's season will depend largely on these two.
Finally, with Gerson, whether the decision will be to leave or stay. With Arrascaeta, whether he will continue to make a difference at the national level , although his physical limitations are apparent. Especially for the proposal of pressing marking and intense play defended by Filipe Luís. https://x.com/flamengo
