He concluded by expressing how puzzling the whole thing looks to him and saying,"it is the end of Joga Bonito." We shall examine two or three very important words in the above statement. He noted that he experienced it last season and this season it is Paqueta's turn. He went on to insist that the rainbow flick is an "asset" a skill that should not be frowned at no matter where the player does it on the pitch or at what minute in the game the player does it. It was thesame kind of atmosphere when Neymar did that skill too, that it provoked memories in him and he took to social media in defence of Paqueta– he in no uncertain terms expressed how sad it was for him to see the Paqueta incident, which a termed as a player being booked for a dribble. Interestingly in this match, the Lyon playmaker was given a yellow card from referee Stephanie Frappart, a yellow card that didn't clear reveal if he was carded for "showboating" or for enthusiastically asking for a foul after an opponent handled the ball,according to his view. Neymar did it against Toulouse, Pastore vs Metz and Paqueta, most recently pulled the skill off against Troyes in September 2021. 10 shirt and they are also the last ones to have done a "rainbow flick,"(this is when a player happens to flick the ball from behind him over his head and over the head of the opponent,the ball landing behind the opponent) in the French league. If we use the "rainbow flick" as an example in showboating the above three players in focus all wear the No. By the way,Africans mostly share same footballing philosophy too,so little wonder, Africans generally enjoy themselves in the French league–Austin Jay Jay Okocha named above played for PSG of France. Also they all happen to play or have played in the French Ligue 1, a league that incidentally is akin to the South American physicality and dribbling. All three share same ancestral roots– they all hail from the continent of South America(a continent profusely naturally blessed with footballing talents,especially the flair kind of players). Where do you draw the line? If we may stick with some three players currently playing– Neymar jnr,Javier Pastore and Lucas Paqueta.

But some other players will accuse them of showboating. All these players/past players above would usually tell you that what they are doing is normal for them, a means to help their team out of trouble. They will be immediately removed.The footballing legend, late Diego Maradona,Ronaldinho,Cristiano,Neymar Jnr,Paqueta,Okocha,Robinho,Vinicius Jnr are names that come to mind when you think of players with fanciful dribbling skills.
