Bench player in the paulistao, got Like 7 starts in the serie b and gets signed in Portugal. I'm going to start tracking the serie b quality players who play well there.
Jefferson on Sporting came from Santa Cruz 3 years ago and was voted the best LB in the league last season. He couldn't even crack Santa Cruz's lineup. I feel like you baited me with this topic.
Yea I did lol. Anytime you need to vent you have your place haha. Plz tell me Santa were at least in the serie b during this time.
I don't know enough to formulate an opinion one way or the other, but just throwing out this possibility; what if Portugese teams are just good at scouting the talent that falls through the cracks in Brazil? For example, David Luiz went to Europe after playing just a few matches at Vitoria, a third-division club at the time. Lots of talent seems to get unnoticed or underdeveloped or whatever in Brazil, and that's natural with a country as large and as football-crazy as Brazil. Just some food for thought.
Not sure if DL is a good example though. Vitoria is still a traditional club that always had a strong youth system. DL didn't flop around the lower Brazilian divisions before landing in Portugal and finding success. He was a youth product that was recently promoted and who a large Portuguese club bought.

Apparently Tite was considering calling up a player named Tiquinho Soares, who flopped around on several small Gaucho and Northeast sides until he landed in Portugal. Apparently, he has torn it up at 3 clubs, including his current club, Porto.
You gotta feel for Gabigol!! He leaves Inter to go to Benfica to get more playing time and now he cant get off the bench there!!
