And his manager is also a big fan and revealed his confidence in the 17-year-old to go on and have a serious future in the game by saying: “He's a jewel, spectacular, pure. Hard worker, but still developing at 17. He turned pro at 15. Some things to work on… imagine in 2 to 3 years. Mentally he's spectacular. Good kid. He’ll be world-class.”
Felipāo's judgement can certainly be trusted with the Brazilian coaching the likes of Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Rivaldo, Cristiano Ronaldo and Deco amongst others.
