Lucas Paquetà is off to a fast start at Milan and now that has parlayed into the Brazilian national team. The Milan midfielder will wear the famous #10 jersey for Brazil with Neymar sitting out. Milan legend Kakà spoke to Sky Sport about his fellow Brazilian: “to see this rapport between Milan and Brazil is beautiful, Paquetà grew up in Brazil, played for Flamengo and now is bringing back the union between Milan and my country.”
To play with the #10 shirt for Brazil is beautiful and he will write a great history. I think he is ready for this responsibility, even because when you’re on the field the number on your back doesn’t matter. He is ready for Brazil, he only needs to mature in his play but he has a manager who knows South Americans really well. Gattuso can help him a lot and Paquetà is growing in terms of awareness.”
