My Take

Edílson is the kind of footballer I instinctively root for. A right back from Nova Esperança in Paraná, he announced himself on his 2010 Grêmio debut with both a goal and an assist, which tells me he played with the attacking instinct Brazilians carry even from defensive roles. Full backs rarely grab headlines, yet his willingness to surge forward and decide matches makes him quietly exciting. He keeps an active Instagram under his own name, suggesting a player who values his connection to fans. I find more to admire in honest grafters like him than in many flashier names.
