Player on Jorginho after Flamengo v Bahia: “He always gets past me…” | OneFootball

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 make the game move forward, on how to keep improving more and more. I’m sure that makes me improve even more on the pitch — said Evertton Araújo in an interview this Sunday (19).

Defensive midfielder Evertton Araújo started getting more minutes in recent matches due to the injuries to Jorginho and Erick Pulgar. Forming a midfield duo with Lucas Paquetá, Flamengo’s number 52 has delivered and is winning over coach Leonardo Jardim and the fans.

HAS LEONARDO JARDIM ALREADY PRAISED EVERTTON ARAÚJO?

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 defensive midfielder and also said that the player has the profile of a European player.

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