Everton Maceió has amazed Brazilian football with his coolness in penalty kicks at the start of this season. Given this situation, the Portuguesa-SP forward explained where this idea came from and, moreover, pointed to Jorginho from Flamengo as one of the main inspirations for this type of play.
— If I hit the shot right, it's very hard to save. It's like the penalty kicks of Jorginho and Neymar. Everyone knows it already. But how many penalties have they taken and kept scoring? A bunch, forget it -, said Everton Maceió in an interview with the channel ‘Cartolouco’.
The forward Everton Maceió has been surprising opposing goalkeepers in recent penalty kicks. This is because the player kicks without even taking a run-up to the ball. Thus, Hugo Souza, former Flamengo and currently Corinthians, suffered at the hands of the Portuguesa-RJ player.
Jorginho is one of the main penalty takers in Brazilian football. The Italo-Brazilian has the classic power of striking the ball, which is the famous ‘little jump’ before the kick. Given this situation, the player has already converted eight penalties wearing the Sacred Mantle, maintaining a 100% success rate.
While Maceió looks up to Jorginho, Flamengo returns to the field this Sunday (22) to face Corinthians, for the eighth round of the Brasileirão. In short, the match kicks off at 8:30 PM (Brasília time), at the Neo Química Arena.
Coluna do Fla TV, as usual, shows the details of the match with the most red-black coverage on the internet on YouTube, as well as on the website and social media. Finally, Record (open TV), CazéTV (YouTube) and Premiere (pay-per-view) broadcast the duel.
