Paris Saint-Germain's Brazilian international Lucas Moura said on Sunday that Europe is the place to be for top talent and any return to the domestic fray would be a step backwards. "It would be a step back for my career if I were to return to Brazil," said the 22-year-old winger, whom PSG signed from Sao Paulo for €45m.
Moura, who made his name with Sao Paulo and broke into the Brazilian national side in 2011 but failed to make the cut for the FIFA World Cup™, told Globo television the Brazilian game is slower and that playing in Europe had bolstered his all-round development.
Brazil coach Dunga called Lucas into his squads for recent friendlies against Austria and Turkey but injury forced his withdrawal. But he told Globo he hoped to get another chance to pull on the national shirt for a 26 March friendly in Paris.
"That would be special - I can say France is my second country," Lucas said.
