Lucas Paquetá, West Ham midfielder, found himself removed from the Brazilian national team's call-ups due to an investigation into alleged involvement in sports betting activities. Suspicions arose after yellow cards received in Premier League matches, raising questions about the integrity of his performances.

The situation placed the player under observation, both from the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) and public opinion, awaiting the development of investigations for a possible reinstatement to the national team. With the arrival of Dorival Júnior as technical command of the national team, the scenario for Paquetá could undergo a change.

Dorival openly criticized the CBF's decision to exclude Paquetá from the squads, arguing that West Ham did not imposed no similar penalty on the player, who continues to perform remarkably well in the English league. The new coach's stance indicates an openness to calling up Paquetá, considering his strategic importance for the team, as long as he is fit and in good physical condition to play.


"Not even his own club penalized him like we did. We gave a verdict on something that didn't happen. Every moment he shows the suitability and legality of the situations. Everything that has been questioned, he presents the necessary evidence that it didn't happen in the way they put it. There is no reason for us to penalize him in this way, nor does the club have Once this is done, we have no right", said Dorival.


The coach added:


"He is being investigated for a situation in which you were suddenly not involved. Naturally a situation that requires care, but we also have to be aware that he is an important player for the team, as long as he is well, recovered and in good condition. Then he will be fundamental in our group", concluded the former Flamengo coach.

Carlinhos' performance in the last classic between Flamengoand Vasco, played on Sunday, has generated a wave of criticism and questions from the red and black fans. The striker, who entered the field in the 18th minute of the second half, replacing Bruno Henrique, played a discreet role and ended up failing to help the team in one of the most decisive moments of the match.

The classic, as always, was a game intense and highly anticipated by both fans, with great weight for the championship table and the morale of the teams. However, Carlinhos' entry, which lasted just 27 minutes, was considered below expectations, especially in a scenario where Flamengo was looking for a victory to distance itself from its rivals.

FLAMENGO HAS A DEFICIENCY IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP < /b>

During the 27 minutes he was on the field, Carlinhos barely appeared, failing to influence the game as expected. The player only touched the ball a few times, did not create clear scoring chances and also did not help efficiently in the defensive system. With an apathetic performance, the striker ended up becoming a target of frustration for the fans, who expected more from a player who, at other times, had already demonstrated the potential to be decisive.

The lack of offensive participation was a of the main points raised by critics. In a game that required creativity and boldness to break through the Vasco blockade, Carlinhos was unable to find spaces or impose his presence as a constant threat to the opponent's goal. In classics, where every detail makes a difference, this lack of protagonism weighed even more.


The replacement of Bruno Henrique by Carlinhoswas also a factor that generated discussion. Bruno Henrique, although he was not having a brilliant performance, is a player recognized for his ability to decide games, especially in big confrontations. His departure 18 minutes into the second half was justified by the coaching staff as part of the planning to spare the athlete, who recently returned from injury.

Tite, accustomed to pressure and the need for results, states that this mentality is something he is adopting in his day-to-day life at the club. “I see this culture, and this is what we are doing. Flamengo has this requirement, and I am a coach who likes this type of challenge.”

Although Tite has an established career, with successful spells at clubs such as Corinthians and the Brazilian national team, Flamengo represents a new experience for the coach. He is now at the helm of a team that has traditionally had fans calling for victories in every competition they compete in, something he sees as a positive challenge.
