AC Milan great Nelson Dida is backing Leo Duarte for success with the Rossonero.
The defender arrived this week from Flamengo for a mooted 11m.
He'll have to adapt to Italian football, but he's a good defender who did very well last season," Dida told Gazzetta dello Sport.
Of course, he'll have to learn the tactical guidelines well, but lately in Brazil great progress has been made in teaching the defensive phase.
Leo, in terms of value for money, is undoubtedly a great deal for Milan. After that, it's a bit easier for a defender to adapt to the Italian League than it is for a striker.
His strong points are his pace, combined with his quality, which is pretty clear."
