Lucas Paqueta spoke at the press conference yesterday about what he wants to do at Milan and where he would like to play.
️ @LucasPaqueta97: "I am at ease playing as a midfielder. At Flamengo, I was playing more up front but I am flexible and my aim is to help the team. Every match is important when you are wearing the Red&Black"#WelcomePaqueta

@LucasPaqueta97: "This is a very moment important for me. I was well-received by all the players. I hope I can help @G_Higuain, Cutrone and all the players to score goals"#WelcomePaqueta

Paqueta stated that he preferred to play in midfield and would like to help the strikers score goals. It appears that he has been watching the team play, because Milan can really use someone to get the ball to the strikers.
