Oscar
Club: Chelsea
Nationality: Brazil
Age: 20
Position: Midfield
Oscar has been lighting up not just the transfer market news but also the Olympic's. His phenomenal ability to change his pace on a dime along side his superb foot skills, the 20 year old, has all the tools to impress the EPl this season. Even with my hatred of Chelsea F.C. he looks to be a great signing. His major battle will be with his ability to adapt to the physical play of the English Premier League. In his native country of Brazil the play is more open which helps showcase his technical skill. Thus giving him more time on the ball to create while avoiding much contact. Changing his style with the hard defense and sometimes over aggressive play by lesser technical clubs could pose a road block in his success.
My favorite part of his game however, is his work ethic. Although the talent pool of the Olympic's is not as high as the EPL's he has showcased his willingness to hustle and put defensive pressure on most back lines. An exciting youngster, I would like to see him successful in the near and distant future. His potential is unlimited. Most of the time I am not too sold on Brazilian young guns since past stars have endured rough times in Europe. The play style and big stage sometimes sets them back. Oscar should not be phased though, he has work to do but his work rate and already tremendous talent give him a leg up on most young stars whom he plays along. In addition to his speed is his knack for scoring thunderbolt shots from distance. He reminds me somewhat of how Clarence Seedorf strikes a ball. With the unexpected pop and power, catching keepers of guard or giving them not enough time to react.
In 36 appearances for Brazilian side Internacional he scored 11 goals over the course of 2010-2012. Along side his 6 caps for the national team at such a young age, he has gotten a taste of "big boy football". The 25 million pound move to Chelsea F.C. is the right move at this point in his career. He is young enough to grow and expand his talents while also giving him experience on a bigger stage. Oscar's name seems to be poised to he heard many times over the 2012-2013 season.
