D’Alessandro praises Flamengo idols, picks who was the better player | OneFootball

Arrascaeta and Everton Ribeiro play better than D’Alessandro, according to the man himself

Former player D’Alessandro, idol of River Plate (ARG) and Internacional, was challenged to determine whether he played better or worse than other midfielders. Among the competitors were idols of Flamengo, and the Argentine showed sincerity in his response.

That's because D’Alessandro acknowledged that the Uruguayan Arrascaeta and the former red-black Everton Ribeiro, currently at Bahia, play better. However, the Argentine believes he played better than midfielder Raphael Veiga, who is currently on the bench at Palmeiras.

What happened to D’Alessandro?

Retired since 2022, the 44-year-old Argentine D’Alessandro is the sports director of Internacional. Flamengo, in fact, can say that it eliminated the former player by defeating the team from Rio Grande do Sul in the round of 16 of this Libertadores.

Does Arrascaeta really play better?

The current number 10 of Flamengo is, along with Bruno Henrique, the player who has won the most trophies for the club. Arrascaeta is, for example, the greatest provider in the history of the Brazilian Championship, with 78 assists. This is because he is in great form with the Most Beloved.

Everton Ribeiro?

Currently at Bahia, Everton Ribeiro left Flamengo after 394 matches and 11 titles, including two Libertadores and two Brazilian Championships. In addition, the midfielder scored 46 goals and provided 61 assists in seven seasons with the Sacred Mantle.

And Flamengo?

While Arrascaeta is with the Uruguayan National Team, Flamengo is waiting for the end of the FIFA date to return to the field on the 14th of this month, against Juventude. The match will be in Caxias do Sul, starting at 4pm (Brasília time), for the 23rd round of the Brasileirão.
