Filipe Luís predicts Flamengo’s new signing could become a club idol | OneFootball

Who was Flamengo's coach, Filipe Luís, talking about?

Midfielder Jorge Carrascal made his debut for Flamengo in a match against Internacional on Wednesday (13), at Maracanã. After the clash, which ended 1-0 in favor of Mengão, coach Filipe Luís praised the Colombian and highlighted that he will try to make the player a favorite of the rubro-negra fans.

"A player that we've already seen has a lot of quality. A very refined touch with the ball. True, he came in at a time in the game when our team was not dominating, it was not favorable for him, and he ended up moving a bit more from the position we thought for him from early on," he stressed, before concluding:

HOW WAS CARRASCAL'S DEBUT FOR FLAMENGO?

Carrascal started the game as an option on the bench. However, in the final stage of the second half, the number 15 came on for Plata. Even with little time on the field, the player was participative and tried to create offensive plays. In one of them, in fact, the midfielder initiated the move that almost ended in a goal by Luiz Araújo.
