My Take

Lucas Veríssimo interests me as a counterpoint to Brazil's flashy reputation. A 189 cm centre-back out of Jundiaí, raised at Santos, the storied club that produced Pelé, he represents the unglamorous spine that lets the samba up front actually shine. I tend to watch defenders like him closely because the modern game asks a centre-back to defend ferociously and also start the build-up with clean, ambitious passing. He looks built for exactly that hybrid role. If he keeps developing his composure on the ball, I think the bigger European stages are well within reach, and I will be watching to see whether he makes the leap.
