Jorge Wagner

Jorge Wagner is exactly the kind of Brazilian footballer I have a soft spot for, the creative left-sided playmaker who could line up almost anywhere down that flank. Born in Feira de Santana, Bahia, he built his reputation on versatility and a genuinely ferocious shot, the sort of dead-ball striker who makes goalkeepers nervous from thirty yards. He may not be a household name outside Brazil, but players like him are the connective tissue of the domestic game, technical, inventive, and always good for a moment of magic. Watching Brazilian midfielders with that kind of left foot is one of the simple joys of the sport.
