After a slump, Lucas Beraldo returned to Luis Enrique’s side at the best of times, when the season becomes even more exciting. The Brazilian, however, no longer plays in central defense, but in the midfield in a defensive midfielder role. The 22-year-old left-hander is confident in this new position, like his good performance against FC Nantes this evening (3-0) during the 26th day of Ligue 1. Marquinhos finds him at ease.
“He is perfect in this roleestimates the captain on League 1+taking his case as an example. Like me with Tuchel. He adapted very quickly when the coach changed him. I spoke with him too, like me at the time when I had learned many things. This could open the doors even more for him in the selection. It’s very important for a player like him who can play in defense, on the side. He covers the spaces in front of the defense very well. He’s a player we were missing in the squad.»
