Filipe Luís sends message on Flamengo player's comeback after Carioca win | OneFootball

Evertton Araújo was highly praised by Flamengo fans

A promising talent from the Rubro-Negro youth academy, Evertton Araújo was once again the target of praise from coach Filipe Luís. This Saturday (07), the midfielder's name was widely discussed after Flamengo's victory over Sampaio Corrêa, 7-1, in the sixth round of the Campeonato Carioca.

— Evertton... I’m very happy for him because I always believed in him. He was heavily pressured, criticized, and treated unfairly for a long time. He never stopped working, on the contrary, he always works even harder –, he said, before concluding:

— Football gives back. The great moment he is living now is because of that. The fan who used to complain every time he was in the lineup, now complains when he’s not –, concluded Filipe Luís during a press conference.

How did Evertton Araújo perform?

Coach Filipe Luís started Evertton Araújo on Saturday (07), since Jorginho suffered a muscle injury in his left thigh. As a result, the young player was highly praised by Flamengo fans. In addition to completing 70 passes out of 74 attempts, the midfielder recovered seven balls and intercepted four Sampaio Corrêa plays.

Is Evertton Araújo leaving Flamengo?

According to a report by Coluna do Fla, West Ham (ENG) reached out to Evertton Araújo through their scouting department and has since been closely monitoring the Cria do Ninho. The English club values the midfielder at around 12 million euros (R$ 74 million).

On the other hand, Flamengo sets a much higher price for Evertton Araújo, considering the young athlete a promising prospect for the European market. Despite foreign interest, the club makes it clear that it does not intend to negotiate the player at this time.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

With Evertton Araújo available, Flamengo returns to the pitch this Tuesday (10) to face Vitória. The match between the Rubro-Negros takes place at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Barradão, for the third round of the Brasileirão.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match between Flamengo and Vitória through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Brasileirão match.
