I must confess that I took a bit longer to be won over by him – before making up for lost time by coming to the conclusion that he could be the most important player Brazilian football has produced in a while. I was at one of his very first matches for Internacional, a 3-0 defeat to Fluminense in the Maracana stadium in August 2010. He was brought on after 35 minutes, made a mess of everything he tried and was himself replaced after 57. It hardly matched the hype that was already surrounding him.” BBC – Tim Vickery
