In Brazil already see to Arthur like the new guide of the 'canarinha'

With so only two parties in the absolute selection of Brazil, Arthur Melo seems to have won already the praises and the acceptance of the media of his country, that see in him to the future 'lighthouse' of the 'canarinha' regarding creation of game and distribution of the same, in a profile of midfield player that does not abound in the 'seleçao'.

In Brazil plant to Arthur like "a change of paradigm with regard to his own history", and think that the way of Arthur to understand the game is more Dutch or Spanish that Brazilian, since it does not centre so much in the arrival in attack or in the destruction of the game to recover balloons, but rather in the distribution and creation of offensive game, without need to arrive to the rival area but yes to allow that the teams follow attacking one and again, as they did Xavi Hernández and Andrés Iniesta in the FC Barcelona.

"It is as if Arthur always watched and went a species of lookout of the attack. It remains further back, it is the guardian of the ball"

More or less like this it defines it Leonardo Miranda in 'Globoesporte', when ensuring that Arthur is "the ritmista that Tite wanted" in Brazil, although it will not be easy to look for him a place in the eleven headline. "In the World-wide Tite said that it needed a player in the centre of the field with intelligence and talent to direct the game of the selection. If there is something that conclude in the friendly against The Saviour, Arthur is this player", can read in 'Globoesporte'.

The comparison with Xavi Hernández remains patent in the article: "it Is a faithful representative of the style of Xavi, a more difficult adaptation of what seems. Arthur is very different of the type of half that you is accustomed to see in Brazil. It is not a 'first steering wheel', like Casemiro, or a steering wheel that goes up to the attack and has good ending, like Paulinho, Bruno Henrique or Fred. His game is not Brazilian. It belongs to a very tied tradition to the Spaniards and Dutch: the one of the mediocampistas", writes Miranda.

To Arthur, in fact, already have planted him the nickname of lookout or 'lighthouse' of the selection of Brazil. "It is as if Arthur always watched and went a species of lookout of the attack. It remains further back, it is the guardian of the ball: if the attack did not work, plants like an option of pass so that the team do not lose the balloon and continue attacking, instead of going there, to in front, Arthur protects and remains expecting that the ball avenges to him".

Arthur, to the rhythm of the best Barça of the history

Leonardo Miranda, in this coyuntura, seems to have understood to perfection what really did brilliant to the game of the FC Barcelona and of the Spanish Selection in the last years, especially during the stage of Pep Guardiola. "Arthur presents us another dimension: the space. Dimension already dominated by Dutch and Spaniards, but that still is not totally understood by here".

"It is the game that the Barcelona of Guardiola, so characterised by Xavi, Busquets and Iniesta, showed us: more than talent or skill with the ball in the foot, is precise intelligence when occupying places in the field to attack or defend. It is a split of paradigms", explains Miranda. It is clear that the game of Arthur Melo likes in Brazil. Now, it will be missing that Tite follow summoning him and giving prominence him in his diagrams. If it wishes possession of balloon, control of the game and balance, treats of the ideal footballer.
