With coach Tite, Evertton Araújo began to receive his first opportunities, but it was Filipe Luís' decision to keep Léo Ortiz in defense that opened up space for the midfielder to stand out. Evertton became the first option on the bench for the position, especially after De la Cruz's injury, which removed the Uruguayan from the starting lineup. This scenario gave the young player the chance to demonstrate his quality and gain important minutes on the field.

The midfielder was used in decisive moments and showed his ability to adapt to high-pressure games.

Evertton stands out for its combination of technical and tactical attributes. His marking ability is accompanied by a keen positional sense and the ability to initiate offensive transitions. These characteristics make him a key player in the high pressing system adopted by Filipe Luís, which values players capable of recovering the ball quickly and maintaining control of the game. The midfielder has also shown himself to be resilient, learning from mistakes and responding positively to adversity.
FLAMENGO GOES FOR A HOMEMADE SOLUTION

Friday (15) was marked by a press conference with Arrascaeta, at Ninho do Urubu. The Uruguayan midfielder made strong statements about the club's backstage and even repeated a famous phrase from Jorge Jesus, the Portuguese coach who marked an era at Flamengo.
Arrascaeta quotes Jorge Jesus: "Flamengo only loses to itself"
Without directly mentioning the coach, Arrascaeta emphasized that internal problems often harm the club's atmosphere . The Uruguayan also made it clear that he will always stand by his teammates in situations where unprepared professionals could harm them:
"I often tell my friends that Flamengo only loses to itself, because it's difficult to explain some of the things that happen here. Sometimes it's due to a lack of capacity from people who don't realize the size of the club or who aren't used to dealing with this pressure . But when you have experienced and respected players like Alex Sandro, Bruno, Nico, Viña, and so many others, the group becomes stronger," said the number 10.
"Whatever happens outside won't affect our squad. We'll always be together. When something happens to a teammate, we'll be here to help," Arrascaeta assured. The statement alludes to the controversy surrounding former doctor José Luiz Runco, who was fired after exposing details of De La Cruz's physical condition , claiming the Uruguayan was living with an irreversible chronic injury.
At the time, Arrascaeta posted a photo alongside De La Cruz, accompanied by the message: " It's about taking care of our own. It's that simple ." The gesture was interpreted as a dig at the former professional, as well as a pat on the back for his club and national team friend.
Now, at the press conference, the number 10 reinforced the importance of squad unity in the face of external turbulence: "Regardless of who it is, Nico or another player, we have to be together. It's very difficult to stay focused on the field when these situations happen. But I've been here for six years and I know that Flamengo always experiences moments like this. Our role is to keep ourselves in the locker room so that this doesn't affect us, even though some situations are very difficult," he concluded.
