It does some months, only the more futboleros knew to a youngster that had turned into the engine of the Guild of Carry Cheerful and that had called the attention of the FC Barcelona, but to day of today, Arthur Melo is a promise of world-wide scope. Since it put a foot in the City Condal, saw that the Brazilian came stepping strong, and has converted a season of adaptation in a sea of illusions.
In the Sportive City ran the rumours after the first trainings of the midfield player, that impressed until to the same Leo Messi. It said the Argentinian that was an enjoyed see his precision in the rondos and in the exercises of possession, and this did not go more than an augurio of what went to show on the terrains of game. His progression is spectacular.
His timidity hardly lasted a pair of parties, because since it has showed a personality that has enamoured to the fans of the Camp Nou. Always it asks the ball and never loses it, because it carries it sewed to the foot and is fed up complicated be able to remove it. Almost the same that see him fail a pass, a situation that hardly sucede in official commitment.
The slow rhythm that brought of Brazil has adapted at full speed to Europe, in which the Barcelona requirement has forced him to accelerate. Every time it thinks and it executes faster, although it only carries some months working in one of the best teams of the planet. It marks the times to perfection, and also is a teacher to tactical level.
Sergio Busquets and Ivan Rakitic appreciate his contribution in the defensive every time that it accompanies them in the medullary, because it always is attentive in the coverages and steals a lot of balloons thanks to his good placing on the green. It is the glue in an eleven thought for the attack but that also stands out in defence, because, in word of his own seleccionador, Tite, is an expert in the transitions. And, from it does some weeks, explores also a facet that still has for exploding.
The vertical pass, the last attainment of Arthur that aspires to be as Xavi
If something reproached him to Arthur in his starts like culé was an excess of pause, with a fault of atrevimiento that now is compensating. In a traced back historical against the Seville, the one of Goiania broke the defences hispalenses with a magic pass to Ivan Rakitic, that hardly had to touch the leather to surpass to the guardameta.
As already it has mentioned , only it carries some months in the Barça and still has a lot of way for visiting, but seeing the similarities, is impossible not thinking in Xavi Hernández. Arthur does purer to the Barça because his style is ideal for the room of Barcelona machines, and all go back to dream with that the centre of the field carry the stamp of the Masia but mattered of a small Brazilian footballer. The future goes through his boots.
