Midfielder Lucas Paquetá once again stirred up Flamengo fans this Thursday (28) after an enigmatic post on his social media. Raised in Ninho do Urubu and always openly red-black , the West Ham player posted a snippet of music that made fans dream of an eventual return to Mais Querido.


"Where I'm from, everyone knows what it's like🎶," the number 10 posted, quoting a pagode song by the group Clareou. Fans quickly associated the message with his affection for the club and the possibility of reliving his career with Mengão.


STORY OF LUCAS PAQUETÁ


Paquetá was promoted to the professional team in 2017, where he began to demonstrate his technical quality, personality, and fan connection. With the Rio de Janeiro club, he won only the Campeonato Carioca in 2017 before being traded at the end of 2018.

Former Flamengo player Carlos Alcaraz was one of Everton's protagonists in the 2-0 victory over Mansfield, from the English third division, this Wednesday (27), in the third phase of the English League Cup. The Argentine midfielder scored a beautiful goal from outside the area and celebrated in the style of Cristiano Ronaldo , showing confidence in his new club.


Signed in July 2024 by Flamengo , Alcaraz was the most expensive reinforcement in the history of Rubro-Negro at the time, with an investment of 20 million dollars (R$ 110 million at the exchange rate of August 28, 2024). For Mais Querido, the Argentine played 19 official matches, scoring three goals and providing two assists , leaving his mark despite his short stint at Mengão .


TROUBLED EXIT AND OUTBURST


The midfielder made no secret of his dissatisfaction with the way his departure from Flamengo was reported. In an exclusive interview with ESPN, he dismissed the reports circulating about his transfer as "lies" and emphasized that he wanted to remain at the Rio de Janeiro club.

" I just have to say that everything they said about me is a lie. That's all I have to say. They said a lot of things about me. Filipe (Luís), (José) Boto, and I know why I decided to leave. That's all! Let people rest assured. I really wanted to stay at Flamengo, I wanted to stay because I know what a player I am. They tried to turn people against me," Alcaraz said.


The Argentine added: " After they said they couldn't find the position, I obviously didn't like it. I'm a player and I can adapt to any position," reinforcing that he would have been willing to play in different areas of the field had he remained at Mengão.
