I was talking about making it big on a top class league actually.TBH,i hadnt heard anything about him before he moved over to Arsenal(which could be down to my ignorance too

).And i was always under the impression that he was this raw teenager when Arsenal signed him.So i was kinda surprised to find out that he's already 24.He's still a pretty good player though.The Brazilians must hate you
Well it's not down on your ignorance, our leauge is not too exposed in the world.
I don't think the Brazilians care, they have hundreds of players like him and only a few make it. I don't think he'd be the player he is today if he had stayed in Brasil, especially if he had persisted on making it in Brasil's NT. This way he came here as a teenager, 16 years old I think, and was slowly moulded into a fine player. He didn't have the pressure, he had it easier to fight for a place and most of all he had a future on the international stage with us. Brasil is a different story, players like Jardel or Amoroso hardly ever featured on the international stage. Croatia has a few quality talents, Brasil has hundreds, Eduardo cought a small break and made the most of it. His story is really a remarkable one, he came here dirt poor, practically without shoes on his feet. Look at him now, Croatia, the place where dreams come true. At least for Brasilians.
