Lucas Paquetá has had an unhappy start in the Flamengo shirt. Maybe he shouldn't even be on the field, in fact. But he could break out in the next game and also in the next one. Saying that a player is overrated is not saying that he is bad at ball. Just consider that he is not as great as many people think. It's "esteeming" him in another way. Many other people agree with me, by the way.</p><p class="bullet" data-v-232111b4="">Paquetá is a good player. Great, at times. But he's not a cracker. He's not a player to be a starter again at a World Cup - for me, he wouldn't even be in it. And it's not thick, it's not a failure and it's not disposable. I think Paquetá is an inconsistent player, who alternates between brilliance and flaws, and coaches invent casting the boy in several different positions on the field.</p><p class="bullet" data-v-232111b4="">In my point of view, Paquetá works better playing like Arrascaeta plays for Flamengo. This Wednesday, he acted more on the right. By the national team, he has already been placed on the left, as a false 9, by all sides. As a second steering wheel, for me it could become a problem. He is often reckless and violent when marking and gets booked, like against Inter. Other times, he takes risks with passes or simply makes mistakes, as was the case in Borré's goal at Maracanã.</p><p class="bullet" data-v-232111b4="">Perhaps the first minutes of Paquetá will bring many people back to planet Earth. Maybe Filipe Luís himself is on that boat and it has dawned on him that this is not a “plug and play” star. Why not let him gain rhythm, learn more about the team and his teammates' movements so he can help Flamengo later in the season?</p><!----><!----></div><script>!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s) {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function() {n.callMethod? n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)}; if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0'; n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0; t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script', 'https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/fbevents.js'); fbq('init', '291767061033177'); fbq('track', 'PageView', { content_name: 'Paquetá e Flamengo voltam a decepcionar', content_ids: [79071,12810,80789,15308,82370,82487,83965,15800,15663], is_closed: true, });</script>
