My Take
Raphael Botti is the kind of player I think of as a quietly pivotal import. He came up through Vasco da Gama, but it was his move to Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors in 2002 that really gave him a stage. What stays with me is that he saved his best for the 2006 AFC Champions League, scoring an important goal in the first leg of the final. That's the mark of a big-game player. Brazilian footballers in Asian leagues sometimes get filed away as journeymen, but a decisive Champions League goal is the kind of thing supporters never forget.
