Lucas Paquetá, the talented midfielder from West Ham United, is aiming for glory in the 2024 Copa América with the Brazilian national team. Paquetá, who featured prominently in the 2021 edition of the tournament, is eager to go one step further this time around.
Brazil, the nine-time champions, suffered a heartbreaking defeat to Argentina in the final of the 2021 Copa América. Paquetá, who played 76 minutes in that match and made a total of six appearances in the tournament, is determined to help his team secure the title this summer.
Reflecting on his previous success in the competition in 2019, Paquetá expressed his excitement at representing Brazil once again. He emphasized the importance of winning a major tournament for his country and acknowledged the transitional phase the national team is currently undergoing.
Paquetá is set to kick off his third Copa América campaign against Costa Rica in the early hours of Tuesday morning. The midfielder is optimistic about Brazil’s chances and is eager to make a significant contribution to their quest for glory.
Following their opening match against Costa Rica, Brazil will face Paraguay and Colombia in what are expected to be challenging encounters. Paquetá and his teammates are focused on delivering strong performances and ultimately clinching the Copa América title.
