Who is Lucas Paqueta? The new Brazilian sensation Milan landed over Man Utd & Barca
Daniel Edwards
Flamengo's talented attacking midfielder has drawn early comparisons to a young Kaka and he is now set to follow in the San Siro legend's footsteps
When it comes to breaking out and making a name for oneself in world football, a well-placed cheerleader or two never goes amiss.
Flamengo hotshot Lucas Paqueta is fortunate, then. Months away from completing a move to AC Milan, the midfielder has a very powerful ally in his corner, one whose opinion holds plenty of sway.
Indeed, Brazil boss Tite is already convinced that Paqueta has what it takes to succeed at the highest level, even comparing him with two of the country's top talents.
“Lucas thinks about football in the same way as Neymar and [Philippe] Coutinho,” the Selecao coach enthused when asked about the Rio native, who received his first two caps in September before being excused from international duty this month to focus on Flamengo's Serie A challenge.
“When we played against El Salvador he had a series of exchanges with Neymar, practically without having seen him before and without playing together. They linked up with their eyes closed.”
At just 21, Paqueta is considered one of the finest talents currently active in the Brazilian top flight, alongside Rodrygo, Everton and Pedro. His upright elegance on the ball reminds observers of a young Kaka, a legend at San Siro.
Perhaps it was with memories of their playmaking idol in mind that Milan pushed harder than anyone for Paqueta's signature. Both Barcelona and Real Madrid had been linked with the attacking midfielder, while there was also interest from Manchester United that fell short of a formal approach.
The Rossoneri, however, won out in the end and, in October, Flamengo confirmed that their gem would be moving to Italy in January. While they did not disclose details of the transfer, it is believed the Rio giants will pick up around €35 million (£30.6m/$40.5m) from Paqueta's sale.
Even so, allowing Paqueta to leave was not an easy choice for Flamengo. Paqueta has been in imperious form during this, his breakout season, playing a mammoth 53 games in all competitions over 2018, scoring 12 times while adding another five assists to his team's cause.
He has primarily started in a more withdrawn central midfield role, but has shown a deadly touch around the box when picked to play just behind the centre-forward.
That versatility is another asset, while he is no slouch in the air, either. In addition, as well as Tite, he has also picked up another useful admirer: none other than Kaka himself.
"He's a player who has a bright future ahead of him," the 36-year-old – who won the Champions League and Serie A with the Rossoneri – told Milan TV.
"He's already been called up to the Brazilian national team, but it's better for him that we don't make comparisons. I've seen so many of them in recent days, with me, with [Alexandre] Pato, with Ronaldinho, Cafu, Rivaldo… with all the Brazilians who have been part of Milan's history.
"We need to avoid these comparisons so he can come here and play calmly and peacefully. But I'm confident."
In an ideal world, Paqueta would be given time to settle into life at San Siro. He may not be afforded that luxury, however.
Years of under-achievement have left Milan debilitated and disillusioned, with a succession of coaches and players failing to return the glory days of the last decade back to the club.
Milan are in need of a saviour, and a tall, rangy Brazilian playmaker who is as adept at scoring goals as he is creating them is bound to create a buzz around the Italian city.

Gennaro Gattuso and those in charge must be extra-cautious to not pile the pressure on their young charge's shoulders when he arrives in January, and allow him to make his name gradually and as part of a wider team effort.
Only time will tell if Paqueta becomes as beloved to the Rossoneri faithful as his compatriot, and if he can aid their desperate desire to leave the also-rans behind and challenge Juventus' stranglehold on the Scudetto.
But, for now, the playmaker is making all the right noises – and if a tactician as canny as Tite sees something special in him, it is fair to say that he has everything in his favour to succeed in Italy's Serie A.

Ai miei tempi Gattuso avrebbe tirato fuori il coltello."

Ааа, моля моля, Гансо от самото начало си личеше, че е абсолютен бидон. Гансо, Габриел Барбоса - Габигол, Жоао Марио, Анвар Ел Гази, Ришедли Базур и прочие Бидони - тея си личаха още като ги види човек какви са дъски и набедени майстори. Докато тоя пич поне на клипчетата впечатлява.vik rossonero 96 написа: ↑20 ное 2018, 19:31Как може да забравяш, че Лорд Фабио играе с 11? Ако ще и с 1 да играе, важното е да покаже качества и да ни помогне. А аз иначе не знам защо всички го слагат в центъра на халфовата линия, след като младежът по всичко изглежда, че е направен да играе по крилото. Има пас, техника, скорост. Според мен ако заедно с него домъкнем Фабрегас, Кейхил и Златан, ще направим повече от прилично зимно меркато, защото ще можем да преминем към 4-2-3-1 без никакви проблеми, но и 4-2-2 остава логичен вариант, като вече ще имаме реален титуляр отляво в лицето на Пакета, а Хакан може да заиграе в центъра до Кеси/Бакайоко.
Абе важното е да се пази от контузии и да разцъфне като Кака, след като толкова много пък го сравняват с него. Въпреки че и Гансо го пишеха новия Рики, но се оказа с талант колкото на ... Фики.

Тъй че няма ядове.
Не съм по статистиките, но една асистенция за 32 мача в бразилското първенстнво ми се струва доста скромен актив. Крайно време е да се разбере на каква позиция точно играе тоя пич и в какво е най-силен.Lucas Paquetá in Brasileirão this season:

Rossonero. Can't wait to see him in Serie A
