Paulo Henrique Ganso discusses the Fluminense fans, Copa Libertadores semi-final against Internacional, Marcelo, Kevin De Bruyne, Lionel Messi and Neymar.
Neymar compared him to Zinedine Zidane, Pele to Wolfgang Mozart, and Santos president Luis Alvaro to a Bordeaux wine. Every Brazilian and his dog barked relentlessly into Dunga’s eardrums to put him on a plane to South Africa 2010. A bevy of behemoths jostled to seduce him across the Atlantic. Paulo Henrique Ganso produced back-heels that the sport had seen from Socrates and Socrates only, and flicks Ronaldinho would have welcomed on to his highlight reel. He borrowed Zidane’s first touch, Michael Laudrup’s vision and Dennis Bergkamp’s imagination, while his passing was as elaborate and exceptional as the through-ball gods of ‘The Beautiful Game’. Ganso, quite simply, had the world at his balletic feet.
