Ex-Flamengo star on convincing Carrascal: debut may be in Libertadores | OneFootball

Jorge Carrascal may debut for Flamengo this Wednesday (13th) against Internacional

By: Mônica Alves and Pedro Paulo Catonho

When he was introduced to Flamengo, Jorge Carrascal confessed that he spoke with some players who had previously played for the club, such as Richard Ríos and Orlando Berrío. Therefore, the Coluna do Fla report went to ask the attacker how the dialogue was with the midfielder, who may debut with the Sacred Mantle this Wednesday (13th), against Internacional, in the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores.

— I spoke a little with Carrascal about Flamengo. I did my part: I talked about the importance and size of the club, where he was arriving. In fact, it wasn't something very extensive, but I told him what Flamengo is. The importance and size of Flamengo —, said Berrío, exclusively to Coluna do Fla.

And Berrío understands well what Flamengo is. The 34-year-old attacker, who currently defends the jersey of Paraguayan Tacuary, wore the Sacred Mantle from 2017 to 2020, conquering titles such as the Libertadores and the Brazilian Championship. Now, the former right winger of Mengão lives in expectation for the debut of his compatriot.

WILL CARRASCAL DEBUT?

Carrascal is regularized by Flamengo and enrolled in the Libertadores. Last Saturday (09), the midfielder was on the bench in the victory of Mengão by 2 to 1 over Mirassol, in the last round of the first round of the Brazilian Championship. Now, the player waits for minutes in front of Internacional. For Berrío, the last reinforcement is ready to be a starter and replace the suspended Arrascaeta.

— This decision about Carrascal passes a lot through Filipe Luís. I know and know very well the qualities of Carrascal. He is a player who is ready. In the selection (Colombia), he has already demonstrated this. Carrascal is used to making decisions and if Filipe Luís opts for him in Arrascaeta's position, in my opinion, he will do the job, as he has a lot of quality —, pointed out Berrío.

WHEN WILL THE FLAMENGO X INTERNACIONAL GAME BE?

With Carrascal available and Berrío watching, Flamengo faces Internacional this Wednesday (13th), at Maracanã, from 9:30 pm (Brasília time). If there is Mengão on the field, then there is total coverage of Coluna do Fla, on the site, on social networks, and on YouTube. In addition, Globo (open channel), ESPN (closed TV), and Disney Plus (streaming) will broadcast the match.
