Thiago #4, baring in mind he went all the way to the end of the U21 Euro's and then has been straight off the gas this pre season.. so very impressive, a new level so far and you have to say he looks ready to shine this season. Almost as excited about him as I was Messi at 16/17.
ESP coach del Bosque plans to call up Thiago for the friendly against ITA on 10 Aug and the Euro qualifier against LIE on 5 Sep. [as]
He moves and passes like Deco. Deco was more complete midfielder though as he did a tremendous job defending. I remember when we did the stats he was the player that made most fouls.
