60,000 fans and a comeback: Paquetá’s Flamengo farewell at Maracanã | OneFootball

Is Lucas Paquetá available for the Flamengo vs Internacional match?

Lucas Paquetá is eagerly anticipating a reunion with the Flamengo fans at Maracanã. This Wednesday (04), Filipe Luís’ team faces Internacional in the second round of the Brasileirão. Thus, Coluna do Fla decided to recall the midfielder’s last match at the ‘Sacred Temple’.

The last time Paquetá played for Flamengo at Maracanã was on December 1, 2018, in a match against Athletico-PR. On that occasion, Mengão took the lead with Rhodolfo, but in the second half conceded a comeback with goals from Matheus Rossetto and Rony. That match, in fact, was the midfielder’s farewell before moving to Milan (ITA).

What were the lineups for Flamengo and Athletico-PR?

Flamengo: César; Pará, Léo Duarte, Rhodolfo and Renê; Willian Arão, Piris da Motta, Diego and Lucas Paquetá; Everton Ribeiro and Fernando Uribe. Coach: Dorival Júnior.

Athletico-PR: Felipe Alves; Diego Ferreira, Wanderson, Zé Ivaldo and Márcio Azevedo; Camacho, Matheus Rossetto and Wellington; Marcelo Cirino, Rony and Marcinho. Coach: Tiago Nunes.

How was Paquetá’s debut?

Called up for the first time since his return to Flamengo, Paquetá started the game against Corinthians in the Supercopa do Brasil on the bench. Thus, the midfielder came onto the field in the opening minutes of the first half, after Jorge Carrascal was sent off.

Finally, Lucas Paquetá had a single shot, which was precisely the missed goal. In the final stretch of the second half, after a scramble in the Corinthians’ box, the midfielder found himself one-on-one with Hugo Souza, but ended up sending the ball over the bar.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

With Lucas Paquetá available, Flamengo returns to the field this Wednesday (04) to face Internacional. The match will take place at 7 p.m. (Brasília time) at Maracanã, for the second round of the Brasileirão.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match between Flamengo and Internacional via YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the match between the teams from Rio and Rio Grande do Sul.
