Whenever I watched Sao Paolo (they show them on tv here now in Sweden), for Lucas obviously, this guy has kept the Sao Paolo tradition of having really good CBs (Miranda, Alex Silva etc), quite dynamic and well rounded. The kind to take charge and start plays, while playing cautious at the same time. That latter bit doesnt make him a Lucio type, doesnt play all out irrational in his decisionmaking. I watched Sao Paolo few times for Lucas, so dont tend to focus too much on other players, but this guy, and Henrique, pops out players that catch your attention.
And whoever is dissing Brasilian league, seriously watch it, they have improved quite a bit more and more, and not just for offensive players. Another CB I seen that I wouldnt be suprised to see in a top european team soon is Rever (he is more of the no-nonsense bull kinda D).
