Alcaraz scored his first goal for Flamengo in the win against Bahia.
Flamengo beat Bahia 2-0 on Wednesday evening, with goals from Ayrton Lucas and Alcaraz. The Argentine midfielder, who scored his first goal for the club, gave an interview after the match and highlighted his happiness in this moment, as well as thanking teammate Gerson for giving up the ball to take the penalty .
“Very happy to have scored my first goal with the Flamengo shirt, very happy for the group and to have a different player like Gerson. I thank him for allowing me to kick the penalty and for always giving me confidence in training. I am me too’ I am grateful to all the players who help me with the language and style of Brazilian football, I am very happy and excited”, declared Alcaraz.
Shortly before the goal the midfielder was involved in a tackle, feeling a slight pain, but the pace of the match allowed him to continue playing normally. The effort paid off with a goal at the end of the match.
“I took a blow to my right knee as soon as I entered the match, but I remained on the pitch. I thank everyone for the support and leaving at that moment was not an option,” underlined the Argentine.
Now Alcaraz and Flamengo will have a few days of rest, given that the next match will not be played until the 17th, according to FIFA data. This period will be important for coach Filipe LuÃs to further implement his style of play and for the athletes to recover from wear and tear. The break will also be invaluable for players returning from injury, allowing them to regain optimal physical shape.
Flamengo’s next match will be the classic match against Fluminense, on the 17th, at 8pm, at the Maracanã, for the 30th matchday of the Brasileirão.
