Author of the pass for Pedro's second goal in Flamengo's victory against Avaí, last Sunday (24), at Ressacada, Uruguayan De Arrascaeta became the player with the most assists worldwide in the 2022 season. The numbers were released by the statistics website “SofaScore”.
Mengão's number 14 has already recorded seven assists in the Brasileirão, two in the Libertadores, and five in the Carioca. He also has the most assists in the Brasileirão since 2006: 54, 35 of which were for Flamengo. Arrasca surpassed the likes of Conca, D'Alessandro, and Montillo.
In addition to Arrascaeta's achievements, the Rubro-Negro also broke a historic record. It was the first time the team had won at Ressacada in the Brasileirão. Coach Dorival Júnior praised the triumph in Florianópolis.
"This is an important milestone. A team like Flamengo has never won here... It's a broken record that will be remembered. I'm very happy to have been part of this moment. Round by round, we've built what we want. This is a championship of recovery for Flamengo. We have no other path than this," the coach stated.
Mais Querido returned this Monday (25), at Ninho do Urubu, and began preparations for the match against Athletico-PR, which takes place on Wednesday (27), at 21:30 pm, at Maracanã, for the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Copa do Brasil.
