Anderson

They call him the next "Ronaldinho". Anderson Luís Oliveira was born in Brazil in 1988 (he's 18 now) and, like the best player in the world, he started his football career in Grêmio, where he gained first team status by the age of 16: he didn't even get to 17 and he already was the team's playmaker; when he was 14 he was left full-back, but soon they recognized offensive qualities in the kid.

He got to play his first game as a senior after being arrogant with Grêmio's coach: he said he was better than many of the team's players, so the coach invited him to prove himself. Anderson scored one goal and never lost his indispensible status.

Portuguese FC Porto bought him at the beginning of the season - 5M for only 50% of the player (the rest belong to himself) - but he wanted to stay at his club for the rest of the season (he wanted to help Grêmio get back to the first league, and they achieved it). In January Anderson came into a new reality, a new country: he only got to play two games until the end of the league, but in both he showed great ability. They say he'll "explode" in the next season... You can see him here.
