The Uruguayan Giorgian de Arrascaeta had been one of the high points of Flemish in the 3-2 victory against Palmeiras at the Maracaná for the Brazilian. When leaving the stadium, he had a very bad time with his family: with an attempted armed robbery. “Thank God we are fine,” posted on the social network X.
Later, the most complete testimony was given by his wife, Camila, on Instagram: “Unfortunately, citizens in Rio de Janeiro try to ‘stay alive’ when we leave our homes and I say that because every day we go out into the streets but with fear.”. Because life here is worthless, because there are more weapons than people, because you find a rifle at every turn of the corner and because if they kill you, you are one more.”
And he added: “Unfortunately, today they tried to assault us leaving the Maracaná, they pointed two weapons at our car, we were saved by the fact that our car is armored and that we tried to remain calm. Even though we had a shitty moment, we thank God that it was just a scare and we got home safely.”
This year, Agustín Rossi, Flamengo goalkeeper, had already been a victim of insecurity: his car was shot at.
