My Take

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.

Gerson Santos da Silva (born 20 May 1997), simply known as Gerson (Brazilian Portuguese: [ˈʒɛʁ.sõw̃]), is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Campeonato Brasileiro Série A club Cruzeiro and the Brazil national team.
