I watched him up close and like many other Brazilians, we all saw him as equal to or even better than Neymar at many points. The issue is that his game is outdated and many other players with skillsets that are similar also struggle in Europe. The lack of work rate and injuries made it so he couldn’t adapt at all. Not to mention his ridiculous ego. To this day he’s still hated by many because he seems to think that he’s in any way special. So you can imagine what it was like when being compared to Zidane.

Nice to see international channels talking about Ganso. And you did your research really well, but I just wish you had mentioned the key games for Sevilla that made him look horrible. I remember one in particular that was against Real Madrid at Santiago Bernabeu. His laziness got exposed when he got his big chance and then it was downhill from there. I'm a São Paulo fan and he was the most frustrating player I've ever seen in sports. He was a good 1v1 tackler, maybe he could have adapted his game to a contending midfielder role, but he was sluggish and was easily guarded because of his lack of movement. (Like Seedorf says. They were comparing Ganso to Pirlo and talking how he could play Pirlo's role, then Seedorf said something like "no, no, no. Pirlo moves a lot. It might not look like he does but he does. Ganso doesn't"). He also knew how to shoot a ball but never really trained to become a freekick specialist, which would have made him a more valuable piece even if he lacked the intensity. But the worst part was how he would have 2 genius games, displaying his top notch vision and close relationship with the ball, and then 10 below average games in a row lol this lack of consistency defined his days before he became garbage. Now he's constantly bad and hasn't played for Fluminense in months (injury and coach's option), but back then he would deceive fans. If he had more work ethic and practiced free kicks, he could have become a one footed (his right foot really wasn't good) Walmart version of De Bruyne. Honestly, this would have been more than enough to become a force in Brazilian football and maybe even become a decent player in Europe.

I remember Neymar hype very well at Santos, Ganso was still wanted by many European clubs but Neymar being younger, fresher and because of that got bigger attention from general public. I personally think Neymar stint at Santos is very underrated moment of modern football, it is not even being mentioned by press and public how much he has achieved so early in his career. In my honest opinion, Ganso's playstyle was a little bit outdated for Europe even then, mid-tier defenders knew how to defend against it, coaches at big clubs did not use players like him anymore. Sure, he could have work his playstyle around, to adept and improve but that requires another level of sacrifice which he wasn't willing to take. If he only played football in 90's, early 00's, he would have pretty nice stint in Europe but by the time he actually emerged, Europe had enough of that playstyle and clubs/coaches asked for something different. Nice video by the way, looking forward for more content from you. :)

It's clear to many altough no one public acknowledge that Ganso just kept in football/soccer the way he could to prolong his carreer in big teams as long as he can to earn sufficient for his retirement. Dude gave all his life to the sport and problably it's all he knows to do well. Some people don't like him, think he's self entitled but all his career he wasn't invoveld in any controversial, neither had partied hard. He had always left his family far from the public eye (he's married with kid and I've seen them only once on TV). In this context he's different from others like Neymar. He is also very short in words when giving interviews...and I personally think he also had severe emotional problems after his injury. He used to have more joy, he became a different person after his health problems.

Nowadays he's playing very well in Fluminense FC, I hope he returns to his prime

Here in Brazil, Ganso never played that well too. After his return to Brazil, the only function that he would execute well was to delude the football fans. Ask São Paulo supporters what they think about him.

Why would he turn down small teams? I think it was more of pride and bad attitude. This is why you should never despise small beginnings.

I loved Ganso so much and thought he would be better than Neymar and set the world alight. Really disappointed he didn't make it

These kind of videos are very interesting because very young people propably never even heard of Ganso. This ist mostly a retro trip for people who know him and thought he would become a star.

brilliant analysis, and the conclusion is harsh but not that harsh if you think about it, mayby Ganso isnt a waisted talent, he is just where he was meant to be, 99 percent of footballers will never reach that... everything else is overhyped nonsense

Great video as always mate. I know, as you said, you'll do justice to a lack of brazilian videos, but an idea for the future maybe, a PSG video? Similar to the one you did about City or Bayern? Cheers mate, you're smashing it as always

Really appreciate that, man! Oh yeah, planning a big one for PSG. But it might be a while haha

Not only ganso but many players with lots of potential were lost due to laziness. I have seen players at my age that had a great talent but they relied only to that because they always thought that talent was enough on it's own

As a Santos supporter from a family of Santos supporters (Dad always talks about getting a train to watch Pelé play) Ganso was great, even greater than Neymar for sometime. BUT, he was quite unstable: some huge matches followed by some hidding from the game, some would call he was "sleeping in the field". He had some injuries but I think that the worst enemy for PH Ganso was mental health. But he missed the chance to cativate São Paulo rivals when got there, but was spot on on pissing Santos. He was a great art piece in confection from 2008-2010... somewhere in 2011 it broke down and never was the same, or half of it, or even less than that. It was like he was changed with a twin, that could handle the ball well, but not near.

Seeing them, Neymar and Ganso, back in 2010, for me was obvious who was going to go farther in career. Neymar had always more personality and "hunger of ball" (as we say in Brazil). Ok, Neymar has way too much of that personality, "they've grown a monster", but there's no comparison between them two. Ganso is currently in Fluminense and when his is up to play, is said "Fluminense is now playing with 10"

It wasnt laziness (also think its inappropriate to judge someone on that), he had a hard injury in his leg in 2010 and after that he never got to be the same.

It’s not necessarily laziness. But Brazilians value healthy social life A LOT. Having fun and spending good times with family and friends is a priority. They love to party. They love life.

gotta tell, I'm a Ganso fan since he came to São Paulo, but gotta admit he was very flawed. Like everyone else is saying here, his knee injuries took a really big bite out of his talents and career, which were kinda outdated by that time. To me, Ganso has one of the most interesting brazilian player's careers to be examined, and a video like that just proves my theory right
