This Saturday (26), Flamengo's confrontation was marked by the indignation of drawing 0-0 with Internacional's reserve team. Not enough, the embarrassment suffered by the Rubro-Negro could extend beyond the 21st round of the Brazilian Championship. During the first half, Luiz Araújo and Arrascaeta suffered injuries that could deprive Mais Querido of future clashes.
"Arrascaeta had a mechanical injury, resulting from a hit on the ball. It was a mechanical injury. Luiz's injury happened during the race. We had a good week of training, intense, and we need to improve in all aspects. Unfortunately, we lost two players who were making the difference in the match, like Luiz, who was gaining advantages. Now, we will analyze the reason for this and seek a recovery as quickly as possible", he said.
Right at the start of the match, 10 minutes into the first half, Arrascaeta felt pain in his thigh and had to be leave the field, being replaced by Victor Hugo. Even before the break of the match, the Uruguayan left the bench and went to the locker room. On the eve of the match, the player published photos using equipment to improve his muscle condition, and has already returned to sharing images with the equipment after the draw with Internacional.
In the case of Luiz Araújo, the player tried to change the course of the match in the 31st minute of the first half, when starting a sprint on the right side of Flamengo's attack. However, during the play, the player felt discomfort in the back of his left thigh. The attacker received medical attention, but it was not enough to continue on the field. In the end, Everton Ribeiro entered the lawns to replace his partner.
With the risk of having Arrascaeta and Luiz Araújo as embezzlements, the Rubro-Negro continues to prepare for its commitments. Flamengo and Botafogo face off next Saturday (02) in the 22nd round of the Brasileirão. The duel takes place at 9 pm (Brasília time), at Estádio Nilton Santos. Currently, Mais Querido ranks third in the Brazilian Championship. The club's objective is to overcome the difference of 12 points between Rubro-Negro and Botafogo, current leader of the competition.

Since 2011, the club hasn't had a coach from January to December of a single season, a feat last achieved by Vanderlei Luxemburgo. Filipe Luís is poised to break that streak in 2025 , and for Arrascaeta , this is one of the secrets to the team's success.
"I believe the most important thing, after so long, is to have a coach. Almost a year, after a long time without that, to continue the work. Each of us knows how Filipe Luís works; we have to give our all for the benefit of the club . That's how good it is. We're happy with him and our teammates; we've achieved important things," said Flamengo 's number 10.
In the 2-0 victory over Juventude in Caxias do Sul, Arrascaeta opened the scoring in the 31st minute of the first half after a precise pass from Saúl. In the closing stages, Jorge Carrascal crossed and Emerson Royal scored his first goal for the Manto Sagrado . The two headers ended a historic drought: the team hadn't won at the Alfredo Jaconi stadium since 1997.
"It's never easy playing here. So much so that we hadn't won in Caxias for over 28 years . It shows the strength of the team in all competitions. The important thing was to keep winning to stay top, and we treated the game like another final," Arrascaeta added.
With Filipe Luís in charge, Mais Querido reached 50 points in the Brazilian Championship and still has one game less than its competitors. Palmeiras is in second place with 46 points and two games pending, while Cruzeiro has 44 in third place. The next match will be in the Copa Libertadores, on Thursday (18), at 9:30 pm, against Estudiantes at Maracanã.
