Paulo Silas

Paulo Silas reads to me like a quintessential globe-trotting Brazilian midfielder of his era. Breaking through at Sao Paulo in the mid-1980s and then carrying that game to Sporting in Portugal, Cesena and Sampdoria in Italy, and San Lorenzo in Argentina is a career that maps the way Brazilian talent fanned out across the football world. I admire players like him who become carriers of a style rather than just employees of a club. That he later moved into coaching and punditry feels natural for a central midfielder, the position where you spend the whole match reading the game. A genuine journeyman in the best sense.
