The Brazil winger believes that he can become the best player in the world and that PSG can be genuine contenders for the Champions League next term
Paris Saint-Germain attacker Lucas Moura has revealed that Lionel Messi is the player he most seeks to emulate, while he also believes that the French champions can conquer Europe.
Lucas enjoyed a promising campaign with PSG during 2014-15 but saw the second half to his season hampered by injury problems. The Brazil international had been in exciting form, with his direct dribbling style of play similar to that of the Barcelona star, and he has admitted that he watches the Argentine a lot to try and learn from him.
“He is the best player in the world. He can make the difference because of his speed and dribbling,” the winger, who celebrates his 23rd birthday on Monday, told L’Equipe.
“I like that, because being quick with the ball is my principle strength. It’s important for me to watch other players with these characteristics.”
But it is not only Messi who Lucas draws inspiration from, in training he looks up to a number of players, including Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
“When you work with guys like him, like Thiago Motta, Thiago Silva... these great players help me. I always listen to these boys who have more experience. It will make me better,” he added.
“To become the best player in the world is the dream of everyone, and I believe in myself.”
Lucas, who arrived in Paris from Sao Paulo for a fee of €45 million in January 2012, also believes his club can thrive in the Champions League and will be one of the contenders to win it next season.
“We had enormous success last season,” he stressed. “We only missed the Champions League. And why should we not win it? We can dream this year and make it our target.”
Laurent Blanc’s side still have four weeks before they begin their Ligue 1 defence but play Lyon in Shanghai in the Trophee des Champions on August 1.www.penielnpeniel.blogspot.com-Messi is my inspiration – Lucas

Male Angle Don't trivialise it When I first wondered about this question, I thought it was something actually ridiculous, but after having discussed it with my wife and a few friends, I must say that I agree with a lot of the things everyone said. Let me explain here. I definitely agree it can be a little sexy to say it, but it depends on the familiarity and the relationship you both have. But I also completely understand how many people can be made to feel like a used piece of crap, a prostitute, or it just being plain awkward if they get thanked every time they had sex with their partners. I can see it from both sides. But it just depends on the situation. Men also have the same issues to think about. For us, it is also about being put on the center stage and our sexual performance is being verified, acknowledged and praised or abused. It's like a prized bull or horse being praised while being used for breeding. A lot of men will even question why there should even be a ne...
