Just a couple of notes about what I've noticed from 'dinho since his arrival.
1. He and Yaya seem to have almost a little brother-big brother relationship. Love how he went over to Yaya after the penalty against Arsenal and gave him a couple of mock punches for not giving him the hat trick. They click very well together and there's no arguing about who gets to attack.
2. He seems to have a great attitude and lighthearted disposition. If anyone watched his postmatch reaction, he wasn't the most articulate (still getting the hang of English), but you could tell he was ecstatic about his goals and didn't feel at all cheated by Yaya.
3. His footballing IQ might possibly be the highest on the team, outside of Silva. He's one of those players that seems to have an almost intuitive understanding of how a game moves and flows. Constantly aware of his surroundings and reacts to the players around him very quickly (he almost never loses possession). His positioning is exceptional in this respect, and his high game intelligence explains why he is so extraordinary with tackling and interceptions, even with such a nimble frame.
4. He has settled in very well to the PL and seems to be happy here, but I would rather play almost anywhere else in Europe than be holed up in the Ukraine. Although it took a couple of games in the beginning to see his full value, he has come into his own recently.
Cant wait to see how he plays against a possession and passing side like Barcelona
