Flamengo promised and is firm for the transfer window. After sending a proposal of 15 million euros to buy Claudinho from Zenit, from Russia, Flamengo, according to information from journalist Diogo Dantas, from O Globo, is preparing an offer to buy West Ham for Lucas Paquetá.



At first, the red-black board heard from the English club that the definitive acquisition is the only way to negotiate the athlete, who is a offspring of Ninho do Urubu and has already warned Paquetá that he will put an offer on the table to try repatriate him.


Remember, that the referral is not related to the possible purchase of Claudinho. This is because the Rio de Janeiro red-and-black had already informed Paquetá's staff that he would make both moves in this transfer window.

Player offers no obstacles


Flamengo already has everything practically in order with Paquetá, but it depends on West Ham's "ok" to also formalize a contract with the midfielder. In the negotiation, the club has already made it clear that it will include a clause in the proposal that allows it to protect itself from a possible punishment for Paquetá in the investigation underway in England, where the player was reported for alleged involvement in betting.

With extensive experience in the position and a notable achievement in winning the 1994 World Cup , Jorginho remains one of the most respected voices when it comes to right-backs. In his analysis, the former player highlighted the changing style of play and the lack of full-backs who can get deep to deliver crosses.


According to him, " a full-back needs to know how to cross. Nowadays, in modern football, it's difficult to see that. Today, it's a very supportive game with few full-backs getting to the bottom. The wingers play with 'switched' legs and usually cut inside, the full-back has to pass," he concluded.


FORMER PLAYER CRITICIZES LACK OF OFFENSIVENESS


During his analysis, Jorginho criticized the performance of Danilo , the current Brazilian full-back. He noted that in recent matches, the player has been unable to complete crosses , something he considers worrying for his role.

" I watched some recent Brazilian national team games and it was desperate to see the full-back not pass the ball. He ended up not delivering a cross. Danilo is a great full-back, but there was one game where, if I'm not mistaken it was against Argentina (editor's note: Danilo's last game for the national team was against Uruguay), he didn't get to the bottom once," he said before concluding.


Jorginho criticizes Flamengo's Danilo: "A full-back can't not cross a ball"

" A full-back can't go without crossing the ball throughout the game . But of course, today he's become more of a third defender and looks inside a lot, but it's extremely necessary for the full-back to know how to cross," said the former Flamengo coach.

FLAMENGO RETURNS TO THE FIELD AGAINST JUVENTUDE

With Danilo available, Flamengo is preparing for its next Brazilian Championship match. The team faces Juventude on the 14th at 4 p.m. (Brasília time) at Alfredo Jaconi Stadium, with coverage on Globo and Premiere.
