Lucas Paquetá showed personality and, even after missing a penalty in the first half of Brazil's victory over Paraguay, he asked to take another penalty in the final stage and this time he didn't waste it. The number 8 was involved in the team's four goals in the 4-1 victory in Las Vegas. He assisted on the first one, started the play on the next two and closed the score, with a penalty.
On leaving the field, Paquetá explained what changed from the right shot to the wrong one:
"Firstly, very happy with the victory, it was our main objective: to win and win well. In the first penalty I was a little bit hasty compared to the way I normally take it, I took a lot away from the goalkeeper. In the second, with a a little more calm, I managed to do the way I can and always do. Happy with the goal and assist, but the most important thing is the team's victory", he said.
The Seleção returns to the field on Tuesday , at 10pm (Brasília time), against Colombia, in a duel that is worth the leadership of Group D of the Copa América. Brazil needs to win to take first place.

Flamengo continues negotiating with Lazio in Italy, the terms of the midfielder's loan Marcos Antônio. One of the main points of discussion between the clubs is the mandatory purchase clause, which the Italian club wants to impose if the player plays in 50% of the matches during the loan period. Rubro-Negro, in turn, did not accept this condition and is trying to adjust the definition of "games" to this goal.
This lack of definition has been one of the main obstacles in negotiations, as Flamengo seeks greater flexibility in the conditions that would force the athlete to purchase. Another important point under discussion is the value of the purchase option. The expectation is that Flamengo will pay between 5 and 6 million euros (approximately R$30.4 to R$36.4 million at current prices), in addition to additional bonuses, to acquire Marcos Antônio permanently.
FLAMENGO AND ITS DEFINITION BY THE NEW REINFORCEMENT
Flamengo is carefully evaluating the numbers involved in the transaction. The club seeks to balance investments to reinforce the squad without compromising its finances. Marcos Antônio is a young midfielder who stood out in European football. A graduate of Athletico-PR's youth teams, he transferred to Estoril, in Portugal, before arriving at Lazio, in Italy. His technical ability and game vision caught the attention of Flamengo, who see the player as a potential reinforcement for the team led by Tite.
Negotiations between Flamengo and Lazio should continue in the coming days. The expectation is that both parties will reach an agreement that is satisfactory to everyone involved. Meanwhile, Flamengo remains attentive to the transfer market, looking for reinforcements that can contribute to the continuation of the season.
In addition to a midfielder, Flamengo analyzed other positions in the last transfer window and continues to keep an eye on the market to reinforce the squad

Behind the scenes at Flamengo are busy looking for reinforcements for next season. The Rio club, always attentive to market opportunities, is now focusing on signing midfielder Marcos Antônio, currently at Lazio, in Italy. In addition to him, there are other names on the agenda, but which have not yet been leaked to the press.
Directors Marcos Braz and Bruno Spindel, responsible for Flamengo's negotiations, will soon embark for Europe. The report found that the English capital, London, is on the itinerary, suggesting that directors are keeping an eye on more than one player and that talks could involve other European clubs besides Lazio.
MARCOS ANTONIO IS A PRIORITY MÁXIMA
Marcos Antônio is 24 years old and has already accepted the proposal from Flamengo for a one-year loan. The young midfielder, who stood out in European football, welcomes the opportunity to wear the red and black shirt and return to Brazil to play for one of the country's biggest clubs. However, the negotiation is not simple and there are still pending issues to be resolved with the Italian club.
The main obstacle to completing the loan are the triggers that would determine the purchase obligation at the end of the period. Lazio wants to ensure that Flamengo commits to buying the player permanently if some goals are achieved during the loan. The red-black leaders will travel to Rome to try to adjust these details and close the agreement.

After the match, the coach of the Paraguayan team, Daniel Garnero, commented on the style of play of the youngster Flamengo.
"He has a way of playing that is obviously not very comfortable for rivals to accept, but that's what the referee is for. The referee has to impose these limits. He plays how he thinks he should play", said the Paraguay coach.
VINÍCIUS JÚNIOR'S NUMBERS. AGAINST PARAGUAYAccording to the statistics portal Sofascore, Vinícius Júnior was the biggest highlight in Brazil's victory against Paraguay. The creation of Mais Querido scored two goals, gave two decisive passes, won nine duels, completed seven dribbles and made a tackle twice.
The young man had been harshly criticized by Brazilian fans for not having demonstrated yet with Amarelinha the football that makes him the star of Real Madrid. However, the creation of Rubro-Negro silenced everyone as he paraded onto the field.
Thus, the jewel of Flamengo's academy was voted the best on the field by Conmebol. Another one who stood out was Lucas Paquetá, who scored a penalty goal.
