Really ? i don't watch Porto that much (apart from their last 3 games vs Atletico & Man U ) .. can you share your views Bojan?

1st of all the most important misconception about Hulk is this. Yeah he did get his nickname from the famous bodybuilder Lou Ferrigno. (one on the right)

But Lou is 1,95 and Porto`s "Hulk" is only 1,78.

Now seriously, he`s wasn`t even a standard first 11 player up until 3 months ago. And while someone mentioned that he plays best on the left, I`ve seen him play as CF but also as right forward.
Maybe someone saw more of him, I only caught like 5 games or so and wasn`t so fortunate to see his best displays. He does have a powerful shot, and is left footed. Quite fast too.

Haven't seen him except for ChL matches.. He did play a brilliant game last night. Too bad he can't do anything with his right leg.

yep on the right and cut inside like Messi.. it was my mistake (on the left ) when i replied to Warik .. the 3 times i saw him in the CL he was playing from the right and cutting inside..

he took Man U & Atletico defense by storm in the 3 games (all CL ) i saw him.. he isn't tall but his upper body strength makes him a moving train.. fast /powerful shot/good dribbler and really strong ..
i'm sure plenty of people will be watching the return leg and keeping an eye on him

He played in Japan last year, and honestly i didnt have good expectation for his transfer from FC Porto in the beginning, but now he is one of the most important player of the squad, he is a real force of nature, he has a great left foot, very quick and very strong. Honestly last night he didnt a great game but i hope he could be better in 2nd leg. He is young and have a lot to learn because it is his first year in Europe. He could be a great transfer to Barcelona in 1 or 2 years.


Sorry for my english, i hope you could understand.

Sorry for the off-topic up there Joker. Thanx for your insight!
I missed the Manchester game but heard people say he was good and now see you saying he can do better!

Yes he was good but not great as we expect. He showed his football in Old Trafford, very quick, very strong, but also showed his great defeat - not passing the ball in decisive time, if he improves this weakness he could be a great, great player in world, because he has rare characteristics in player that you can see nowadays. As i said it is his first year in high competition and he is learning. The majority of FC Porto supporters think as i think, he could do much better. Unfairly he was considered man of the match. I wish he could be really decisive next wednesday.
