Lucas Paquetá admits surprise start on Flamengo return | OneFootball

After the draw of Flamengo against Internacional in the Brazilian Championship, Lucas Paquetá stated that his return to Brazil is not going as well as expected. The team has not yet managed to win with the number 20 on the field.

“Far from the start I imagined with this jersey. I wanted to thank everyone for the support and affection upon my return to Maracanã! It's always unique to wear this jersey! I would trade anything for the victory!” he wrote on his social media.

Signed for 43 million euros, Paquetá was the most expensive signing in the history of Brazilian football and, so far, has not managed to perform at a high level. In the Supercopa Rei final against Corinthians, the player missed a goal that could have tied the match, and against Colorado, Paquetá made a pass error that led to Inter's goal.

“We need to improve and we will work hard to start winning again!! We count on you, nation!” he concluded.
