What Did Ayrton Lucas Say About Lucas Paquetá After the Flamengo vs Botafogo Match?

Lucas Paquetá had plenty of reasons to smile after the match between Flamengo and Botafogo last Sunday (15th), in the Carioca. This is because the midfielder scored for the first time since his return to Mengão. In an interview, Ayrton Lucas summarized the arrival of the Cria do Ninho and talked about how the team welcomed the player.

— He is a cheerful guy, he arrived and adapted quickly. We were sad that he didn't have a good start in the first games, but we know he is a player with a lot of quality. With this first goal, we are sure he will help us a lot –, said Ayrton Lucas in an interview with ‘Flamengo TV’.

HOW HAS LUCAS PAQUETÁ'S RETURN TO FLAMENGO BEEN SO FAR?

The midfielder Lucas Paquetá was the main signing for Flamengo in this transfer window. The athlete's re-debut took place in the Supercup final against Corinthians in Brasília.

After that, Paquetá played against Internacional and Vitória in the Brasileirão, and Sampaio Corrêa in the Carioca. Thus, it was only in the fourth game since his return to Flamengo that the Cria do Ninho managed to score.

Lucas Paquetá's goal came after a pass from Bruno Henrique at the edge of the area. The midfielder struck first-time into the left corner of Botafogo's goalkeeper Neto, opening the scoring for Flamengo. Finally, the classic ended 2-1 for the Rubro-Negro. Now, Mengão faces Madureira in the State Championship semifinal.
