anderson was a hero for my local team, grêmio, and his performances were nothing short of spectacular down here. he was a left winger, in the mould of vela, actually pretty similar to vela. could dribble anyone, chipped keepers, brilliant player. was the scorer in the famous 'batalha dos aflitos', a hero, 18yo. every single person in the country thought he was going to be the next great thing.Bendtners Drinking Buddy wrote:Brazillian, what do people over there think of Anderson?
I was watching him last night and seriously, i would not swap him for Denilson - he was appalling!
however, i don't know exactly why, ferguscum thought he should thoughen him up and make him a central midfielder. a kid who never knew how to mark, had bad workrate and played his entire time as a winger... i don't know what would have become of him if he stood as a winger, but the truth is that he is pretty average nowadays... he was called to national squad a couple of times, played terribly, and is probably not going to be called for the WC, like lucas.
it happens, lucas is an example from the same team, there's also that portuguese kid quaresma... you think they'll be the next big thing and then...
