Flamengo change plans for unveiling Carrascal and Samuel Lino | OneFootball

Carrascal has not yet been announced by Flamengo

The idea of Flamengo was to present Jorge Carrascal and Samuel Lino to the fans before the game against Atlético-MG, this Thursday (31), at Maracanã. However, the club had to change plans. After all, the forward was called up by coach Filipe Luís and could not participate in the ceremony. As for the Colombian, there are still details missing. The Most Beloved released a note minutes before the ball rolled.

WHAT WAS THE NOTE RELEASED BY FLAMENGO?

“Jorge Carrascal will not be presented to the Flamengo fans this Thursday night (31). There is still pending documentation from Dynamo Moscow which, due to the six-hour time difference between Brazil and Russia, did not arrive in time for the completion of the signing. The player, however, has already passed the medical exams carried out throughout the day“, wrote Flamengo.

The official confirmation should occur in the next few hours, as soon as the Russian team's documentation arrives in Brazil. The Colombian was signed for 12 million euros (R$ 77 million) and arrives to alternate with Arrascaeta. The midfielder landed in Rio de Janeiro on Wednesday (30).

WHY WASN'T SAMUEL LINO PRESENTED TO THE FANS?

As Samuel Lino had to listen to coach Filipe Luís's pre-match talk and also participated in the warm-up in the locker room and on the field, the forward signed from Atlético de Madrid (ESP) could not wave to the fans. As soon as he arrived at Maracanã, the left winger explained the situation.

— Very good feeling (being called up). We had a change of plans, after all, many thought I would be presented. But no, I'm called up, prepared for the game. Go for it. I had a conversation with Filipe (Luís), he showed me the game model. I told him that I was physically well, prepared. We had a good conversation and understood that I could be called up for the game — said Samuel Lino, to ‘FlamengoTV’.

AND THE NEW REINFORCEMENTS OF FLAMENGO?

With Carrascal about to be announced, and Samuel Lino called up, the Flamengo fan wants to know: where are the other reinforcements? Signed in the last few days, Saúl and Emerson Royal also joined the delegation at Maracanã and are available to Filipe Luís for this Thursday's (31) game against Atlético-MG, for the first leg of the round of 16 of the Brazil Cup, after all.
