Rony Lopes

A completely different beast on land, this kangaroo of a man hops to places like he does here. He's got a spring in his step when on solid ground, and yes that pun, was intended.

This Brazil-born Portuguese international is a tactful all-rounder that is capable of playing in multiple positions in the front of the pitch. This young man made a name for himself in Ligue 1 with Lille and Monaco being the patrons of his services. He moved to Portugal when he was four and didn't play any football in the Samba land. Ron, as he's fondly called, started at AD Poiares in 2003. He was with them until 2006, when he was drafted by Benfica. He went through the levels of The Eagles until the summer of 2011. In truly surprising fashion, he joined Manchester City's academy as a 16-year-old later that year. His move was made official on the 1st of Jan 2012, and his career has taken a few surprising twists and turns along the way. With Man City being busy in their pursuit of big names and trophies, he realized that he'd never get an opportunity if he stayed. It prompted him to move to the Ligue 1. His time in France alternated between LOSC and AS Monaco. He moved to Spain in 2019 and now plays for Sevilla. This attacker hasn't found his footing in Spain yet, but he's working hard to making it big. An astute dribbler of the ball, he's also an effective passer. As a modern footballer, his defensive contribution has to improve for good. He chose to represent Portugal and has played for his country from the Under-16 level onwards.
