Lucas Beraldo, who spent half a season alongside Marquinhos at PSG, reflects on the PSG and Brazil captain’s role model status.
« At just 20 years old, being alongside someone like Marquinhos is a turning point. He has become a role model for the new generation. ‘I don’t think I’m just benefiting from playing with Marquinhos; every day, we have to show that we deserve to start. Knowing Marquinhos better doesn’t mean I’ll get more playing time; it’s about demonstrating it on the field.' »
« It’s a dream to play alongside Marquinhos at PSG and now in the national team—a player I draw a lot of inspiration from, a leader in many aspects, including the locker room. It’s an honor, a dream to enjoy every day with him. »
Lucas Beraldo discusses his early months at PSG. « Leaving home and living independently accelerates maturity. Maybe it was a surprise to you that I started playing, but I was prepared. I knew the opportunity would only come once, and that’s what I did at PSG and in the national team. »
