Who does he play for Diego, do you have some info on him?
He plays for Flamengo, and yeah, since they're my club back in Brazil I do know a lot about him, I watch him every week and he's absolutely fantastic.
Only 20 years of age, still lots to learn of course, but one of the most exciting young players I've watched.
He's versatile, having played as a striker, winger, attacking midfielder and central mid, but he's at his best when playing through the middle in my opinion. At the moment he's been playing as a number 8, because we have Diego (former Werder Bremen, Juventus, Atletico Madrid etc) playing as a 10, but I think he's even better when playing closer to goal.
His technical skills are just ridiculous. His dribbling and first touch are incredible. His passing is very good and his decision making, most of the time, is great. Of course he still makes some mistakes, most commonly when trying to do too much in dangerous areas. As I said I think he's most naturally an attacking player so having to come deep to collect the ball, he's tried sometimes to start dribbling in our own half and caused problems when losing the ball - but that's not very frequent.
Most of the time his passing is spot on and very positive. He's always looking for one-twos, quick transitions and can do the unpredictable at any moment. And what I think makes him a perfect Klopp player - he works his ass off, presses the opponents until the very last second of the match, and reminds me of Firmino in the sense that he's technically so gifted and naturally attacking minded but still makes a significant number of tackles. He wins a fair number of headers when helping in defense as well, clearing the ball from danger.
Don't think I'm saying all of this because he plays for my team, because I'm VERY wary of overhyping our youth products, and that includes Vinicius Jr who has been sold to Real Madrid for 45m. Vinicius has a great future ahead of him but I could see his career going either way, his talent is too raw and his decision making just isn't great so far - he has to develop a lot tactically to play at that level he'll be required to in Spain.
Paquetá, though... I think he should be in Russia right now, he's that good. And Tite clearly sees something in him as well - Paquetá was part of the "reserve" list for the World Cup (23 were called up but an additional 7 were on that reserve list, which included Lucas Paquetá). Flamengo are currently top of the league and there's no doubt for anyone that he's the club's best player.
He just doesn't seem to feel pressure either. Playing for Flamengo (estimated 40m million supporters in Brazil) is hard, a lot of great players have played for the club but couldn't perform as expected (Diego himself has been under a lot of criticism and he's supposedly a star), but Paquetá just does his thing and doesn't give a F**k.
As I said, I don't think we've been credibly linked to him yet, but if he has to leave Flamengo (which would make me really sad) then I'd love if it was for LFC. Juve is rumoured to be very interested in him.
