What did Bruno Guimarães say about Lucas Paquetá’s move to Flamengo?


The return of Lucas Paquetá to Brazilian football did not make only Flamengo fans happy. That’s because Bruno Guimarães, a Newcastle (ENG) player and an openly declared Vasco supporter, celebrated his friend’s return to the Rubro-Negro.

On the program ‘As convocadas,’ aired on TV Globo, the exact moment Bruno Guimarães received the news that Paquetá had agreed to join Mengão was shown. Faced with that situation, the Brazilian National Team midfielder said: “I hope he’s happy there. He wasn’t happy here (England) anymore. He’s my brother, and I’m rooting for him to be happy. Even if it’s at Flamengo, with me being Vasco… What can you do?”

It is important to point out that, even though they support opposite teams, Lucas Paquetá and Bruno Guimarães are both from Rio de Janeiro and have been close friends for a long time. In this way, their support for each other extends only onto the pitch. At the moment, the midfielders are among the 26 players called up to the Brazil National Team squad for the World Cup.

HOW DID LUCAS PAQUETÁ RETURN TO FLAMENGO?

Ever since leaving Flamengo, Lucas Paquetá never hid his desire to return to the club he loves. Given the situation, the Rubro-Negro made an effort and signed the midfielder from West Ham (ENG) for 42 million euros (around R$ 263 million at the exchange rate at the time).

So far, Lucas Paquetá is already reaping the rewards. That’s because, in addition to once again receiving the affection of the Nation up close, the player also secured a spot in the Brazil National Team. For Flamengo, the midfielder has already won the Carioca Championship title and has made 25 appearances in the Sacred Jersey, scoring eight goals.

WHAT IS BRAZIL’S NEXT MATCH?

With Lucas Paquetá and Bruno Guimarães available, Brazil continue their preparations with the World Cup opener in mind. This Saturday (06), the ‘Canarinho’ take the field to face Egypt at 7 p.m. Brasília time in a friendly in the United States. Therefore, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match on YouTube, as well as on its website and social media. Finally, Globo (free-to-air) and SporTV (pay TV) will broadcast the clash.
