Lucas Paquetá hit the post in Flamengo vs Sampaio Corrêa match

Flamengo made home advantage count and thrashed Sampaio Corrêa 7-1 this Saturday (07), in the sixth round of the Carioca. Despite the ‘rain’ of goals from Mengão, Lucas Paquetá was unable to find the back of the net, but did hit the post with one of his attempts. As a result, the midfielder commented on his search for his first goal.

— Of course I want to score, there’s no hiding that. But I believe it will come at the right time, I’m working and dedicating myself, and I got a little closer this time. But the most important thing is for the team to play well, for me to contribute, to evolve, because the goal will come at the right moment -, said Lucas Paquetá, in an interview with ‘FlamengoTV‘.

How was Lucas Paquetá’s ‘almost goal’ play?

In the final moments of the first half, Lucas Paquetá played a beautiful one-two with Pedro. In this way, the number 20 found himself one-on-one with goalkeeper Zé Carlos, aimed for the right corner of the opponent’s goal, and ended up hitting the post. The player, in fact, couldn’t believe the play and kept banging his head on the goalpost.

In addition, Lucas Paquetá completed 58 passes out of 65 attempted, one of which resulted in an assist from Samuel Lino to Pedro, resulting in Flamengo’s second goal. Not surprisingly, when he was substituted for Cebolinha, the midfielder was heavily applauded by the red-and-black fans present at Maracanã.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

With Lucas Paquetá available, Flamengo returns to the pitch this Tuesday (10) to face Vitória. The match between the red-and-blacks takes place at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Barradão, for the third round of the Brasileirão.
