Arrascaeta breaks the silence on Pedro for a start

Pedro started all of Tite’s matches for Flamengo

Since Tite’s arrival, Pedro has become Flamengo’s primary striker, leaving Gabigol as a backup. Midfielder, Arrascaeta, broke the silence when speaking about his starting No. 9 in this final stretch of the season.

“Pedro helped us a lot by pivoting and protecting the ball a lot. It is also important to have this player in attack, which helps the team to come out in more difficult moments.Arrascaeta said in an interview with FlaTV on Friday (24).

Flamengo’s number 9 has started all of Tite’s matches. In this way, Gabigol, No. 10, is bitter about Mis Querido’s booking. Meanwhile, Pedro scored five goals in eight rounds under the new coach. And so Arascaeta, another crucial player, is grateful for the striker’s good form.

Decisive draw

The Uruguayan midfielder was one of Flamengo’s regular starters in the final stretch of the season. That’s because Arascaeta has scored in Rubro Negro’s last three matches: in the 3-0 win against Palmeiras, in the 1-1 win against Fluminense, and in the 1-0 win against Bragantino.

Double “RARASCAPEDRO”?

Of Tite’s 13 goals scored by Flamengo, the Arasca-Pedro duo scored eight goals: five for Pedro and three for Arascaeta. Thus, the duo is responsible for 61.5% of the goals scored by Rubro Negro under the leadership of the new coach.

The duo is also available for Tite on his next appointment. Flamengo faces América-MG in Uberlandia on Sunday (26). The ball is rolling for round 35 of Brasileirao From 6:30pm (Brasilia time), with a live broadcast from Column, noon YouTube.
