Allan

This ride looks a little bigger. He takes his family out on this thing. That's a nice shirt he's wearing. Who doesn't like the Simpsons?

If you ignore the bad choices that he makes with his facial hair, you'll actually enjoy his game quite a bit. He's a midfielder that can play multiple roles in the middle of the pitch and sometimes in defence too. He's a true modern midfielder that has a wide range of skills at his disposal. He's from Brazil, and that automatically makes him an able dribbler. He's a right-footed player and intercepts the ball a lot, which is why he's deployed primarily as a pivot. His dribbling and passing abilities also let him start attacking plays, and he gets into good positions to add that spark to the Napoli attack. He has been with the Partenopei since 2015. Prior to making that move, he was with Udinese having transferred to them, from Vasco da Gama in Brazil. We're not surprised that he didn't spend a lot of time as a youth playing for clubs. As a matter of fact, he spent just a season each with his hometown clubs Madureira and Vasco da Gama. He picked up his football from the streets, and that has helped him develop a very strong character. He hasn't won any major honors with Napoli, but he was a part of the Brazil national team that won the Copa América in 2019. He has also played for his country at the Under-20 level.
