Gerson Santos Putin

Gerson, real name Gerson Santos da Silva, is the kind of midfielder I always appreciate watching: a metronome who makes the players around him better. Born in Belford Roxo near Rio in 1997, he's grown into a genuine Brazil international, and his move to Cruzeiro keeps him at the heart of Serie A. At a listed 185 cm he has the frame to dominate midfield duels, but it's his passing range and tempo control that I value most. Brazilian football produces flair in abundance, so I have real fondness for the steadier engine-room players like him who quietly hold everything together.
