Joe Ario is the new kid on the block after his good showing against Brazil in Sunday’s one-all draw. He did put Nigeria ahead in the match played on a neutral venue in Singapore.
But much more than scoring, his bold style has set him apart as a new star. He was confident on the ball and daring in his moves.
How he waltzed through the Brazil defence speaks of a player who is ever hungry for goals.
His burst is electric as the Brazilians came to realise too late. As an attacking midfielder he is quite pacy and loves going forward.
‘I love driving the ball and getting up the pitch’, he said in 2016.
Former Liverpool captain and current Rangers manager Steven Gerrard must have noticed the bundle of talent in him when signing him up the Scottish club;He is mobile, dynamic and can burst past a play and create and score….
“He is tall, athletic and quick. He is a box-to-box player and is not afraid to open the door when he gets around the box and he can unlock defences” he said.
