AC Milan, Paqueta is ready for Juventus
Gattuso decided to field the new signing in the midfield, which many saw as a risk beforehand. However, Paqueta displayed great tactical ability, slotting in well in the mezz'ala position. In fact, he reminded us a lot of the injured Bonaventura, or at least that's the best example from Milan's squad to compare with.
With that said, Gattuso wasn't lying when he said that Paqueta had already adapted well, so quickly after arriving. Perhaps the most surprising aspect, he showed off great strength despite his size. Given his debut, it wouldn't be a surprise to see him in the starting eleven against Juve, as Milan are desperately lacking a Bonaventura-type player.
