One of the big experts in Brazilian football to European level, Toni Lima, is convinced that the FC Barcelona has achieved a big signing with the incorporation of Douglas Pereira. "It will be necessary to congratulate to his technical office", ensures

In an interview conceded to the newspaper "Sport", Toni Lima analysed the qualities and conditions futbolísticas of Douglas Pereira, an emergent player in the Brazilian football and that ensures that it will fit to perfection in the Barcelona gear. In fact, the collaborator of the CBF and component of the technical office of the Inter of Milan ensured that if it closed the operation it would be necessary to congratulate to the FC Barcelona. "It will be necessary to congratulate to his technical office because those that know it know that it is a guarantee". Been born on 6 August 1990, Douglas began to stand out in the Goiás, where played of 2008 to 2011: "There already it was, in spite of being very young, a very important footballer for the team".

"Today already it is a player of present in Brazil after having played a lot in a team of the level of Sao Paulo (132 parties and six goals)", signals Toni Lima. And it stands out his resemblance in the style of game with Dani Alves. "Possibly it is the most similar that there is in the Brazilian football. There is some another side, but greater. And Douglas has a big capacity still of improvement. It is obvious that will need a period of adaptation, but has a big possibility of growth".

Lima trusts firmly in his big virtues. "It is a portento physical. Has a classical biotype of side. It is not very high (1,71 cm) and is light (63 kilos), but is very fast and explosive in short spaces. Has a big offensive projection. Technically it has good conditions". It ensures, besides, that is very reliable in defence. "I think that in another European team, with a distinct system to the of the Barça, would cost him more adapt, but in a so offensive team like the blaugrana will not have problems. It is a reliable boy attacking and, to be Brazilian, also to defensive level. In the one against one is very difficult to surpass. I do not know how many years more will be Alves in the Barça, but if it thinks in a spare of future, the option is optimum".

Lima also has stood out the little that lesiona Douglas Pereira. "It is very regular, is used to to play always the ninety minutes and holds the loads of weekly parties without problems. It is necessary to be very well physically so that like this it was and do not remember him any important injury. It will have had some slight, but very few. It is a side that those that have followed it have it in a very good concept. If the Barça finish it signing, aims to that it will be a good signing".
