Flamengo beat Juventude 2-0 this Sunday (14), in the 23rd round of the Brasileirão. In addition to the goals from Arrascaeta and Emerson Royal, the match marked a special moment for Jorge Carrascal, who gave his first assist with the red-black shirt . After the game, coach Filipe Luís highlighted the Colombian's talent and lamented the direct competition with one of the main players in the squad.


Filipe Luís on Carrascal's competition with Arrascaeta at Flamengo: "Very difficult for the player"

COMPETITION WITH ARRASCAETA


In a press conference, Filipe praised the new signing's qualities, but acknowledged the difficulty of the position he holds: "Regarding Carrascal , it's practically the same situation. A player who competes for position with Arrascaeta, who is currently in his best form . It's very difficult for a new player to compete with one of the best players in Brazil right now, if not the best," the coach began.


"We know he can play in other positions too. We're giving him all the care he can get so he can adapt as quickly as possible , because he's a very talented player," concluded Filipe Luís during a press conference.

FIRST ASSISTANCE


Carrascal started on the bench and came on in the 83rd minute of the second half. Shortly after, he made his mark: from the left wing, he crossed perfectly for Emerson Royal , who headed in to seal the scoring. It was the Colombian's first direct goal contribution for Flamengo .

WHAT WAS THE BRAZILIAN CHAMPIONSHIP TABLE LIKE?

With the victory in Caxias do Sul, Flamengo reached 50 points and remains the sole leader of the Brazilian Championship, with four points more than Palmeiras , in second place, but with one game more than the São Paulo club in the competition.

The midfielder has not played for the Russian club for almost a month, has had modest numbers this season and is not in the mood to return to Gávea next season.

Gerson is going through a difficult time at Zenit, he hasn't played for almost a month and his return to the Mais Querido is increasingly distant.

Midfielder Gerson is going through a slump at Zenit. He hasn't started in almost a month and hasn't played since August 23rd . Signed for €25 million from Flamengo in July, the midfielder has played six games for the Russian club, without scoring or providing assists, four of which as a starter and two coming off the bench.


According to information gathered by journalist Jorge Nicola's blog, the athlete's departure from Russia may only be a matter of time , but a return to Mais Querido is currently completely ruled out.


WORN OUT RELATIONSHIP


Gerson's relationship with Flamengo deteriorated after the transfer to Zenit. At the time, the midfielder demanded a salary exceeding R$2 million to renew his contract. The football department, led by José Boto, offered R$1.5 million , but the impasse was only resolved when the release clause was reduced to €25 million, an amount Zenit agreed to pay.

Furthermore, the player's father, who acts as his agent, is now frowned upon by Flamengo 's current management. The rift between the boards of Flamengo and Zenit reinforces the possibility of a possible return .


JORGINHO AND SAÚL REDUCE POSSIBILITIES

The spot that once belonged to Gerson is now occupied by reinforcements who have quickly won over the fans. Jorginho and Saúl, signed in the July transfer window, have been receiving praise from the coaching staff and fans for their performances in midfield, minimizing any nostalgia for the Brazilian's absence.
