When we signed him I never thought he would turn out to be this good. For me, the best player in the world after Messi.
Same here. I hated watching him at Santos and thought he was just a cocky show-off individualistic player who dives all the time.
Then his first season happened: A bit of showboating but accepted his role under under Messi but still dives a lot and whines constantly.
Season two happened: Less showboating and becomes more team oriented, less whining i.e. more sportmanship.
Season three happened: developed his tactical insight, pulling tricks when needed, doesn't dive anymore, doesn't complain, very solidary player.
