After Flamengo's victory over Internacional, a topic became a debate among the rubro-negros. The 1-0 win was good or bad? Part of the fans celebrated the result, while another group got irritated, as they expected a greater advantage. The growing 'anger' in internet comments was a topic in Arrascaeta's press conference, held this Friday (15). The Uruguayan 'shrugged' at the situation and also complained that all teams surpass themselves when facing Mengão.
— What I can say is that internet football is different from what happens on the field. Sometimes we leave the game winning and not satisfied with what we presented. Most of the time we are calm because everything we train is transmitted onto the field. We have a very dedicated coach who gives us many tools to use and do our best —, said Arrascaeta.
— Sometimes things work out, other times they don't. It's part of football. On the other side, there's a rival who also plays. When it's against Flamengo, everyone wants to show their best version. It has to be more motivation for us to know that the rival will show everything when they arrive —, added the number 10.
In a recent interview, Filipe Luís also spoke about internet comments. The Flamengo coach said that social media opinions need to be disregarded and what really matters is the support of the fans in the stands. In fact, the former left-back asked the Nation to stop consuming this type of content.
Win! To be unanimous among the internet and the stands, Flamengo will try to win against Internacional this Sunday (17), now in the Brasileirão. Therefore, the game kicks off at 18h30 (Brasília time) at the Estádio Beira-Rio.
