The Brazilian offensive midfielder marked an era due to his impressive skills to play and the happiness he transmitted every time he jumped to the field. In Europe, he played for FC Barcelona, AC Milan and Paris Saint-Germain.

Since his retire, the Brazilian press has been trying to look someone who they could compare to Dinho, with similar skills or those impressive conditions. Aged 19, an attacker appeared in Internacional, the Brazilian side from the city in which Ronaldinho was born, and that was formed in the same club in which Pele played, Santos FC.

His name is Yuri Alberto and everyone is talking about him nowadays. Recently, he scored three goals in the victory of his team against Sao Paulo and one of those was in the best style of Ronaldinho. The forward didn’t even look to the goal before kicking and surprised everyone with that gesture in the style of Dinho.

 

Yuri has been a key player for Inter so far this season and has already played 22 games in his career, with just 19 years, scoring 10 goals and giving one assist. The local press considers him one of the best prospects of the national team and think that he will be doing great on the future.
