My Take

Paulinho, or Paulo Antonio de Oliveira, is the kind of footballer whose career interests me precisely because it's not headline-grabbing. A Brazilian striker from Cuiabá in Mato Grosso, he finished his playing days in Japan, with his last game coming for Oita Trinita. I have a soft spot for South American players who wind up in the J-League, because that journey says a lot about adaptability and the global plumbing of the sport. The record on him is thin, and I won't pretend otherwise, but a striker who travels that far from home to keep playing earns my respect for the commitment alone.

Overview
