Paquetá sends message to Matheuzinho over Supercopa do Brasil taunt | OneFootball

Matheuzinho mimicked “Paquetá’s little move” after Corinthians’ victory over Flamengo

Lucas Paquetá’s return debut for Flamengo was quite different from initial expectations. That’s because the midfielder came on in the second half of a final lost to Corinthians, which also featured teasing from right-back Matheuzinho, but the debutant on the occasion responded to the provocation.

— And about the second question, I think it’s part of football, right? When I win, I dance, when I score, I dance. And people also have the right to celebrate however they want. Corinthians played a good game, they won, and now we have to work and chase after it — Paquetá emphasized this Monday (02) during his presentation.

What’s the context of the teasing?

Since his days in the Flamengo youth academy, Paquetá has celebrated goals with dances. As a result, the player even became the subject of songs. Soon, the style went viral to the point where opponents would try the dance step as a form of irony.

Matheuzinho, for example, mocked the ‘Paquetá move’ during the celebration of the Supercopa Rei last Sunday. A former Flamengo player, the defender stated that there was no provocation toward the club that developed him, as he has enormous respect for it.

What’s next for Paquetá’s Flamengo?

The new red-and-black signing took the episode in stride, but will have the chance to celebrate a victory with his dance this Wednesday (04). That’s because Flamengo faces Internacional at Maracanã in the second round of the Brasileirão.

Therefore, Coluna do Fla brings all the details of the match between Flamengo and Internacional through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the match starting at 7 p.m. (Brasília time).
