Ayrton Lucas: Squad gutted by Paquetá’s Flamengo debut | OneFootball

What did Ayrton Lucas say about Lucas Paquetá after the Flamengo vs Botafogo match?

Lucas Paquetá had plenty of reasons to smile after the match between Flamengo and Botafogo last Sunday (15th), for the Carioca. That's because the midfielder scored for the first time since his return to Mengão. In an interview, Ayrton Lucas summed up the arrival of the Cria do Ninho and talked about how the squad welcomed the player.

— He is a cheerful guy, he arrived and adapted quickly. We were sad that he didn’t have a good start in the first games, but we know he’s a player with a lot of quality. Now that he’s scored his first goal, we’re sure he will help us a lot –, said Ayrton Lucas in an interview with ‘Flamengo TV’.

HOW HAS LUCAS PAQUETÁ'S RETURN TO FLAMENGO BEEN SO FAR?

Midfielder Lucas Paquetá was Flamengo’s main signing in this transfer window. The player’s re-debut took place in the Supercopa final against Corinthians, in Brasília.

After that, Paquetá played against Internacional and Vitória in the Brasileirão, and Sampaio Corrêa in the Carioca. Thus, it was only in his fourth game back with Flamengo that the Cria do Ninho managed to get on the scoresheet.

HOW WAS LUCAS PAQUETÁ'S GOAL IN THE FLAMENGO VS BOTAFOGO MATCH?

Lucas Paquetá’s goal came after a pass from Bruno Henrique at the edge of the box. First time, the midfielder shot into the left corner of Botafogo’s goalkeeper Neto, opening the scoring for Flamengo. In the end, the classic ended 2-1 for the Rubro-Negro. Now, Mengão faces Madureira in the State Championship semifinal.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S NEXT MATCH?

Before the Carioca clash, Flamengo will take the field, but this time for the Recopa. This Thursday (19th), Mengo faces Lanús (ARG), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), in Argentina. As usual, Coluna do Fla TV will show all the details of the match with Simon Lédo’s on-site coverage on YouTube, as well as on the website and social media.
