Everton Ribeiro is class, wouldn't be surprised if he makes a money move to Europe after this season. He's a bit older at 25 but he has the qualities of a modern wide attacking midfielder, great pace, dribbling and very direct. He's also very unselfish, always looking to find his mates in the box. If it wasn't for the surplus of Brazilian fleet-footed wing playmakers, Ribeiro would definitely be a starter for the Selecao for years to come. But with Coutinho, Willian, Firmino, Oscar, Tardelli, Lucas Moura and Neymar out there it's difficult to find a place for all of them.
Jo breaks his drought here but both sides draw.
