Paquetá bags brace, sends message to Filipe Luís after Flamengo win | OneFootball

Alongside Pedro, Paquetá was one of Flamengo's highlights in the 8-0 victory over Madureira

Paquetá did it all in Flamengo's victory over Madureira! The midfielder scored two goals, set up teammates for clear chances against the opposing goalkeeper, had a goal disallowed, and much more. On this Monday (02), in the 8-0 triumph, the midfielder played more centrally, drifting to the left side. When asked if this is the role he prefers, the player was evasive.

WHAT ROLES HAS PAQUETÁ PLAYED AT FLAMENGO?

Filipe Luís is usually clear that Flamengo doesn't need a defensive midfielder and that the club only signed Paquetá to be a midfielder. Playing on the right wing, the new addition didn't perform well and didn't please the coach. Later, the number 20 was moved back to be a second defensive midfielder and even scored his first goal with the jersey in this return, against Botafogo.

This Monday (02), against Madureira, Paquetá took advantage of Arrascaeta's absence and played as a number 10, leaving the coach Filipe Luís with something to think about. Now, the coach will have little time to decide before the final of the Campeonato Carioca.

WHEN IS THE CARIOCA FINAL?

With Fluminense keeping an eye on possible changes at Flamengo, the Most Beloved awaits Sunday (08) for the grand final of the Campeonato Carioca. Thus, the match will kick off at 6 PM (Brasília time) at Maracanã, with full coverage by Coluna do Fla.
