Gattuso: 'Paqueta deserves a Brazil national team call-up'

AC Milan manager Rino Gattuso believes that Lucas Paqueta deserves to be called upto the Brazilian national side.

Gattuso was talking to the press ahead of Milan's Coppa Italia semi-final first leg against Lazio and he was asked about Paqueta and whether he deserves a call-up to the national side.

He said:  " A Brazil call-up? He deserves it, he was already in the national team since before he arrived at Milan: he combines quantity with quality and certainly, he can be in the Brazilian national team."
