DBasia.news –  Lucas Paqueta is rumored to be the new player of AC Milan in the upcoming winter transfer market.

Initially, Paqueta was plotted as the bomber when Paolo Guerrero performed with the national team, not too long after Guerrero absent due to a doping case.

Next, there was an effort to put Paqueta on the right sector. He was assumed as a talented midfielder in the 4-2-3-1 scheme.

Next, Flamengo coach, Dorival Junior, placed Paqueta behind the striker. In that position, he could maximize the capability to create long-ball, to win the air duel, and to avoid the guard from the opponents.

But, Paqueta also has flaws. The 21-year-old player often considered losing control, indiscipline, and weak in building the defense Besides, Paqueta also often seemed weak when the team are changing from defense to attack, vice versa.

Currently, Lucas Paqueta is driving his way to Ricardo Kaka’s pathway. But, he drives faster than his senior.
