The Brazilian league is much weaker than most probably realise. It's had a bit of a renaissance in recent years as a bit more money has come into their game and they absolutely dominate a pretty weak field in the Copa Libertadores. But generally your better Brazilian sides would get a right good hiding if they played a side from the top 6 leagues or so in Europe.I'm excited by this chap.
On the one hand he was voted the best player in the league- which is no doubt full of talent.
On the other you have to wonder why he wasn't snapped by a European club earlier if he was any good- like most promising Brazilians.
Brazilian sides tend to include a combination of players not good enough to go to Europe, older players that have been to Europe and made their money before coming back (or failed and come back) or very talented but very young and raw kids. The latter group are younger and younger when they get their moves, sometimes going before they've even played a season in Brazil. It's pretty rare where a player reaches the age of 28 (virtually 29 when he joins) and has never played in Europe to suddenly come over and smash it. I'm sure he has a lot of talent but there'll be a reason he's been ignored by all the scouts.
