Does he receive the plaudits his play merits? Call me biased, I am an Arsenal fan, but imvho right now he's the world's best Defensive Midfielder. His ability to play in front of the backfour is unparalleled and frankly doesn't receive the attention, outside of England, that it should. I believe he should be Brasil's captain since imvho he's better than Lucio. Have at me Gentleman
I would say he is under appreciated by certain fans at Arsenal. I think he is a steady to very good player - a player who will be rated higher by the fans once he leave (they would then know how good he was). By the way, what an apt nickname - the Invisible Wall!! Perfect. No, Lucio is an ideal choice as capitao - gives his all in every game and leads by example. Leave well alone there, mate!!
