Em coluna do Mirror Football, da Inglaterra, Tchê Tchê, do Palmeiras, entrou como um dos cinco destaques do Brasil para figurar no futebol europeu. O site destacou jovens promessas que estão apresentando um bom futebol em seus clubes e podem chamar a atenção dos gigantes do exterior.
No texto, destaque para as características do versátil atleta, que durante 2016, por Audax e Palmeiras, atuou na lateral-direita, volante e meia.
Confira abaixo o texto sobre Tchê Tchê:
Gabriel Jesus may have scooped the Bola de Ouro award for the player of 2016 in Brazil, but it would not be unreasonable to claim that Tche Tche was the most vital cog in Palmeiras’ title-winning side. Unknown at the start of the year, he became the versatile joker in Cuca’s pack after swapping a pioneering Audax side for the Allianz Parque in April.
In the opening weeks of the Serie A campaign, he would appear on pre-match tactics diagrams as a right-back, but routinely made a mockery of that definition, helping out in midfield and frequently popping up on the left wing. As the season wore on and other teams got wise to Palmeiras’ gameplan, his role became more conventional, but his influence over matches never waned.
To call a footballer an ‘all-rounder’ is often to damn him or her with faint praise, but not in Tche Tche’s case. His energy, intelligence and bright-eyed sense of adventure make him so much more than a mere utility man.
