The Flamengo completed the signing of Lucas Paquetá from West Ham (ENG) at the end of last month for record amounts. This Friday (06), Evaristo de Macedo commented on the new signing and made positive projections with the number 20 red-black jersey.

— Paquetá! Flamengo did very well to bring him. First, because he has become a great player. And second, because for Flamengo, it will be very good, as he will bring victories, which sometimes he didn't achieve in another team, but which he will achieve at Flamengo — he began.

“Football here in Brazil is very balanced. The clubs have grown a lot, they have money, so it becomes easier to achieve things when playing for certain teams”, concluded Evaristo de Macedo, in an interview with FlamengoTV, last Friday (06).
