Like father, like son! Miranda's son inks São Paulo deal: “A dream” | OneFootball

Defender Lucas Miranda, just 16 years old, celebrated this Sunday (3) the signing of his first professional contract with São Paulo.

Having already spent two years playing in Tricolor’s youth ranks in Cotia, he is none other than the son of club idol and former center-back Miranda, who made history wearing São Paulo’s shirt.

“Today was a very special day, when I fulfilled another dream: I signed my first professional contract with the team of my heart. An unforgettable moment, representing another important step in my journey, which is only just beginning,” Miranda celebrated on his social media.

“I want to thank God, my family, and everyone who has always been by my side. Onward for more, São Paulo,” the youngster concluded.

Lucas Miranda can play both as a center-back and as a full-back, and he is already drawing attention in São Paulo’s youth setup, not only for his good football, but also for the leadership he shows among his teammates. Recently, he was called up to the Brazil Under-16 national team and is already beginning to follow in his father’s footsteps from an early age.

With Brazil, he captained the team to the Montaigu Tournament title, a traditional competition held in France since 1976, which was played last April.

“Everyone was very committed and we played an excellent match against Portugal. We prepared a lot to bring home this title. It’s a really great tournament. We learn from different schools and cultures, we learn new playing characteristics, new formations, new structures. We are all very happy,” said the São Paulo player.
