Holder of Flamengo this Thursday (26), in the goalless draw against Peñarol (URU), which resulted in the elimination of the red-black team in the Copa Libertadores, Arrascaeta drew attention in the mixed zone . This is because the number 14 gave interviews only to Uruguayan journalists.

After the match at the Campeón del Siglo Stadium, the Flamengo squad, together with the red and black board, passed through the mixed zone. However, despite the appeal of the Coluna do Fla team, Arrascaeta avoided the Brazilian press. The Uruguayan midfielder only spoke to Uruguayan journalists and left the space quickly.


Landim also did not speak to the press

Apart from Arrascaeta, the president of Flamengo, Rodolfo Landim, also avoided interviews with the press present in the mixed zone. Mais Querido's representative went straight to the bus that was outside the stadium. The professionals' decision generated criticism from the Nation on social media.

The departure of number 14

Arrascaeta was Flamengo's starter and played the 90 minutes against Peñarol. However, the player could do little. In the match, the midfielder didn't create any chances, finished twice and had just one defensive action. After the duel, the Uruguayan was criticized by Zinho during the 'ESPN' broadcast.

“De La Cruz and Arrascaeta didn't play today. They ran, they dedicated themselves, but I'm talking about technical quality”, said Zinho, shortly after the end of the match in Montevideo. In addition to the number 14, the former Mais Querido player criticized Nicolás de la Cruz and coach Tite.

Next appointment

With Arrascaeta available, the Flamengo now focuses again on the Brazilian Championship. The Rio team faces Athletico-PR on Sunday (29), at 8 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, in a game valid for the 28th round of the national tournament.

After the tragic elimination of Flamengo in the Libertadores, against Peñarol, the journalist Renato Maurício Prado, wrote in his 'Uol' column, questions, for him, without answers, regarding the work of Tite and the Flamengo board in the current season.

Following in full:


1. How can a team that needs to win not shoot on goal? In two entire matches, against Peñarol (which spends less than 15% of Flamengo's salary on its football), there were only two shots towards the rival's goal.


2. How can a coach leave the club's most expensive signing, Carlos Alcaraz, on the bench, preferring to exchange Fabrício Bruno for David Luiz, as if that would make any difference?

3. How can a coach who calls himself a "chameleon", for "knowing how to play in different ways", attribute the resounding failure of his work to the injury of a center forward, Pedro, around whom the team's entire scheme was created?

4. How this scheme never worked, even with Pedro on the field, during most of the poor Libertadores campaign, with defeats to Bolívar. Palestinian and what not?


5. How could the work of a year, considered by many to be the best Brazilian coach in activity, been unable to produce even a draft team with the supposedly best squad in Brazil?

6. How did Carioquinha's impregnable defense become a sieve, Swiss cheese, even though it has admittedly good quality players?

7. How did De La Cruz and Arrascaeta start to play so badly? What's wrong with preparing both?

8. How do Rodolfo Landim and Marcos Braz still think they will win their respective elections with another year of collecting failures, like in 2023?

9. How can Flamengo believe that they will win the Copa do Brasil by continuing such poor work?

10. How has Tite not been fired yet?

Gerson regretted the elimination of Flamengo to Peñarol, this Thursday (26), in the quarter-finals of the Libertadores. The teams drew 0-0 in Uruguay — the Uruguayans had won the first game 1-0, at Maracanã. The midfielder spoke about Flamengo's anxiety in the search for a goal in tonight's game and assessed that the classification was lost in the first game. What did he say?

Anxiety about scoring a goal. We had a good first half, we accelerated the game in the second half, we got into his game. It's sad, difficult to talk about. Frustrated with the result, we lost classification on the first leg, at home.

Gerson, on ESPN


Léo Pereira and Fabrício Bruno also talk about the future

They played both series for one ball, they got it and it's their credit. That's what they planned. It's difficult to talk, it's sad, we wanted things. Now we have to raise our heads, we have Brazil and the Brazilian Cup ahead of us.

Léo Pereira


We are angry about the game we played at home, but after we scored the goal we started to accelerate a lot. We were very impatient and left something to be desired at home. Here we impose ourselves, I don't remember a clear chance for them. It's about apologizing to the fans, we still have the rest of the season, we have to work hard to win the title in the Copa do Brasil or the Brazilian Championship.

Fabrício Bruno

The team's next opponent Flamengo will be Athlético-PR, in a match valid for the Brazilian Championship. The duel is scheduled for 8pm, at Maracanã.
