Journalist calls for patience, sends message to Lucas Paquetá’s critics | OneFootball

Lucas Paquetá played only four matches since his return to Flamengo

Flamengo defeated Vitória 2-1 last Tuesday (10), away from home, in a match valid for the Brazilian Championship. Despite the victory, the post-match topic was the performance of Lucas Paquetá. After the midfielder was criticized, journalist Alexandre Lozetti called for calm.

— People imagined an immediate fit, which won't happen so easily while Flamengo is not yet 100%. Everything requires patience. These are still the first games — said Alexandre Lozetti during a program on SporTV, this Wednesday (11).

WHEN DID LUCAS PAQUETÁ JOIN FLAMENGO?

Lucas Paquetá joined Flamengo at the end of last month. This happened because the red-black team spent 42 million euros (R$ 260 million, at the exchange rate at the time) to close the deal with West Ham (ENG) immediately.

Thus, Lucas Paquetá has only played a few games since his return to Flamengo. The midfielder made his re-debut against Corinthians, coming on in the second half. Soon after, he played against Internacional and Sampaio Corrêa-RJ. Finally, he participated in the match against Vitória.

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO PLAY?

With Lucas Paquetá available, Flamengo is preparing to face Botafogo this Sunday (15), at 5:30 PM (Brasília time), in the quarter-finals of the Carioca Championship. As usual, Coluna do Fla provides all the information.
