Club: Vasco da Gama
Position:Attacking midfielder
Born: July 2000
No one could imagine how fast Paulinho’s development would be.
After an amazing South American under-17 tournament, where he helped Brazil retain their title, the carioca returned to Vasco as member of the senior team.
He impressed against Vitória on his debut, providing an assist.
Eleven days later, against Atlético Mineiro, he scored twice and became the first player born in the new millennium to score in the Brazilian League.
Strong, smart and fast, Paulinho has a modern style of playing and he is hoping to follow in the footsteps of Philippe Coutinho, who made his Vasco debut at 17 and now is a star for Barcalona and the Seleção.
