There is not a Brazilian player that does not dream about becoming the new Ronaldinho. The skills and the talent are really hard to compare between players, but there is always a place to dream. And who could be the best candidate to become him that his own son?

Joao Mendes is only 14 years old and he has already signed his first contract with Cruzeiro to become a professional footballer and stay with the team until he is 20. Does he has what it takes to become the new Dinho? FC Barcelona and Real Madrid surely are watching to know this.

The youth team's director of Cruzeiro Amarildo Ribeiro said that Mendes is a really promising player with interesting characteristics and he is sure that he would fit on their professional team. We will have to wait and see how he perform with almost no experience.

The curious about Joao Mendes career is that Ronaldinho played in Gremio, Flamengo, Atletico Mineiro and Fluminense, but he has never played for Cruzeiro. Although, his son said that he chooses the team because they gave him the opportunity to get into the squad so fast.
