I don't think he was ever something special, people used to want him here like it's Dani Alves. That goal make him a star, but he's just an average player. He's better than Molinaro, but not by a mile.
Hmm fair point, he is a bit overrated by some ppl. But I wouldn't just consider him 'average'. 'Above average' would be more accurate. He isn't a bad player that for sure. Not a great one. But he still does the good tackle or cross here and there which is a good thing. Too bad he doesn't do it more often.
