Arrascaeta praises Filipe Luís at Flamengo: “He does what others can’t” | OneFootball

Arrascaeta gave a press conference at Ninho do Urubu this Friday (15)

Flamengo's top scorer in the season, Arrascaeta gave a press conference this Friday (15), at Ninho do Urubu. When asked about Filipe Luís' work in commanding the red-black team, the number 10 did not hide his admiration for the coach, highlighting that the professional has done what others have not achieved at the club.

— We talk almost every day, sometimes before training, sometimes after training. I'm happy with the work he's been doing here at Flamengo. And we know that Flamengo is different. The pressure here is very high. And sometimes they don't appreciate the work Filipe is doing with this team -, he said, before continuing:

— No matter how qualified the team is, other coaches haven't been able to do what he's doing. So, it's a hat off to what he's been doing, the way we play. We've scored many goals. We've conceded few goals. I believe that's all a result of his work. And as I always say, the respect I have for him goes beyond football -, concluded Arrascaeta.

IS ARRASCAETA LIVING HIS BEST MOMENT AT FLAMENGO?

Throughout the 2025 season, Arrascaeta scored 14 times in 38 appearances for Flamengo, solidifying his high-level performance. In the meantime, Filipe Luís enhanced the midfielder's characteristics, who began to occupy a central space in the offensive system. As a result, the Uruguayan is going through a technical phase considered by many to be the most impactful since his arrival at Flamengo in 2019.

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO PLAY AGAIN?

With Arrascaeta available, Flamengo returns to the field next Sunday (17), at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), to face Internacional. The match takes place in the 20th round of the Brazilian Championship, at Beira Rio. The game marks the beginning of the return of the national competition and will serve as a new test for the two teams before the decisive game for the Libertadores, scheduled for next week.
