Yan Couto started at rb for Braga an hour ago. With a win, Braga can move to 4th in the table. They're up 2-0 at HT.
This is a grown-azz-man, athletic league and Braga is going 4th and YC is the reg rb and he was born between Palmer and McAtee age-wise. Kinda weird he doesn't get more hype. He's obv got gifts, but just focusing on the negatives or question marks ...
- smol, listed as 5-6 at wiki, he ain't gettin' bigger
- he played 25 times for the BRA u17's but hasn't been called up since, odd that, covid impact? ... without knowing the BRA youth RB pecking order, or how this impacts his work permit potential
- his offensive reel is easy to showcase but there really isn't a detailed exhibition of his defensive quality - I regularly look to see if Braga's allowed goals are his fault tho and don't find much to blame him for, shrug
- not a speed burner ... not slow tho, and can run all day, bombs forward like Zaba until the final whistle
wonder how City's brass view him
