What did Evertton Araújo say after Flamengo’s win over Bahia in the Brasileirão?

Evertton Araújo has been managing to maintain a run of strong performances in a Flamengo shirt. In an interview after Mengão’s 2-0 win over Bahia, the defensive midfielder detailed behind-the-scenes conversations he has been having with Jorginho, which have helped him improve this season.

— It has been very important. I’m someone who always likes to ask what I need to do. I talk a lot with Jorginho, and he gives me a lot of tips on how to move the game forward, on how to keep improving more and more. I’m sure that helps me develop even more on the field —, said Evertton Araújo in an interview this Sunday (19).

Defensive midfielder Evertton Araújo has started getting more minutes in recent matches due to the injuries to Jorginho and Erick Pulgar. Forming a partnership with Lucas Paquetá in midfield, Flamengo’s No. 52 has been doing the job and winning over coach Leonardo Jardim and the fans.

In a recent interview, Leonardo Jardim made a point of highlighting Evertton Araújo’s quality. In his remarks, the Portuguese manager was full of praise for the midfielder and also said the player has the profile of a European footballer.

— He’s a boy I like very much. When I arrived, he didn’t have many opportunities, but I spoke with him and told him the opportunities would come. I talked to him about not losing the ball, about playing forward. He is the type of player who succeeds in Europe. He has physical ability, drive, and is good in duels —, said Leonardo Jardim.
