AC Milan legend Kaka believes Lucas Paqueta can write his own great story as Brazil’s number 10.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 21-year-old attacking midfielder has impressed since joining the Rossoneri from boyhood club Flamengo in January and is expected to make his first international start under Tite.<\/p>\n

Who is Lucas\u00a0Paqueta? Five things to know\u2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Born in Rio de Janeiro (August 27, 1997).<\/li>\n
  2. Made 65 appearances (13 goals and five assists) for hometown club Flamengo.<\/li>\n
  3. Signed for Milan in January 2019 for a reported \u00a331.5m.<\/li>\n
  4. So far under Gennaro Gattuso, he’s made 13 appearances (one goal and two assists).<\/li>\n
  5. Paqueta’s debut for Brazil came against USA (September 8, 2018); he’s won two caps to date.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Neymar’s absence through injury means the Sele\u00e7\u00e3o’s legendary number 10 shirt is available to be worn by another player for their friendly against Panama in Porto.<\/p>\n

    Brazil boss Tite hasn’t announced his line-up but the suggestions are that Paqueta will get the nod and given the illustrious history of that jersey it will mean so much to him.<\/p>\n

    Kaka, who donned the number to great success, is backing Paqueta, who continues the beautiful relationship between the five-time World Cup-winners and Milan.<\/p>\n

    “Seeing this relationship between Milan and Brazil is beautiful,” he told Sky Sport<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    “Paqueta grew up in Brazil, played in Flamengo and is now bringing this union between the Rossoneri and my land.<\/p>\n

    “The number 10 of the Brazilian national team? It is nice for him, he will write a great story. I think he is ready. But when you are on the field, the number on your shoulders doesn’t count.<\/p>\n

    “He is ready for the national team, he just needs to mature in his game but he has a good coach who knows the South Americans. Gattuso has helped him a lot, he is helping him too and he is growing in awareness.”<\/p>\n

    How is Paqueta getting on at AC Milan?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    Before joining AC Milan from boyhood club Flamengo in January for a reported \u00a331.5m the Rio native had collected two senior Brazil international caps.<\/p>\n

    Both of those appearances in September 2018, though, came off the bench: 2-0 v USA (19 minutes) and 5-0 v El Salvador (36 minutes). He’s yet to register a goal or assist for his country.<\/p>\n

    Since moving to Italy, he’s quickly become an integral part of Milan’s rejuvenation under Gattuso. Nominally an attacking midfielder Paqueta has made nine Serie A appearances so far and has bagged one goal.<\/p>\n

    However, it’s the promise that he’s shown, as well as the link-up with striker Krzysztof Piatek, which has got many including Kaka excited about the club’s future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
