He looks ambidextrous, scores goals with both his left and right foot. Very useful skill to have! :)

Good, hopefully we'll see none of this bullshit switching the ball to the stronger foot and fucking up a glorious chance to shoot. Seen that too often and it's unbelievably annoying when players do that. JUST SHOOT FFS.

Sorry, mini rant over.

I taught my son to kick it with his left before using his right. He is naturally right footed but this just teaches them that the left isn't just for standing on. He can now play left and right wing and take corners from each side using either feet.

Do keep your son away from Wenger..........

I find it hard to believe that nearly in the XXI century we would have that kind of mistake in Brazil - about his age.

He went to Europe young and never played for any youth NT, so there's no need for him to have been the one to rig it.

But as he was born in the middle of nowhere, maybe his parents when going to the closest city hall (can't say if his small county had one), could have made a mistake about a few months, but at most (and I still find it hard to believe) a couple of years.

But he looks even older than me tbh... I guess it's just bad genes and bad skin at the end of the day.

I know everyone jokes about it but I think it is quite worrying that he could well be much older than 25. Might he already be in his peak now and therefore not show the kind of development and improvement we would expect from him over the coming years?

why would he be older?

As I said he didn't play any youth of relevance - going to Europe too young and already playing for senior teams when he was still U-20, U-21.

He didn't play youth international football, so there's no reason for him to have done it himself.

As I also stated I don't believe it would happen in Brazil in the 90's (it was common up to the 60's in remote or rural areas here, but nowadays I don't think so). Maybe if his city is way too remote, his parents could have waited more kids to be born before going a long way to the nearest City Hall. Even then it's unlikely and it wouldn't be more than a few months - if they weren't careful enough to write down the exact day, month and year he was born.

It's only had skin and genes... there's no reason to worry about that sort of thing at all.

edit: just checked his city. It's a big one - things considered - with over 100k inhabitants, certainly it has a city hall of its own. There's no reason at all to believe he's even one day older than his birth certificate says...
