Keirrison continues his awkward journey with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cruzeiro-c38870 – La Liga Special
After successful campaigns with Coritiba and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Palmeiras-c40165 in Brazil, Keirrison announced himself in the Brazilian league. He scored goals for fun, finishing as the joint top scorer of Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A in 2008. The future looked bright as he signed
for Barcelona in 2009. His fortune have dwindled since then, failing to make a single league appearance for the Catalans and is back in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Brazil-c2858 on yet another loan deal.
Prophesised as the next big thing out of Brazil, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Keirrison-c20513 has spectacularly failed to meet his billing. He was the top goalscorer in Campeonato Paranaense 2008 with Coritiba, before following his heroics in Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A with Palmeiras.
The youngest attacker to have achieved this feat, Keirrison was just twenty at the time as he shared it with Washington of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Santos-c40446.
His endeavours with Barcelona did not turn out as he would have expected. The Catalan club were the reigning UEFA Champions League winners and had La Liga title to add to their glowing cabinet. In addition to the trophies galore, they boasted a squad unmatched
around the globe. With http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296 operating from the right wing and Xavi distributing the ball, the young Brazilian had everything to look forward to.
However, things did not go as planned and his star has fallen since then. After moving to Camp Nou for 14 million Euros, it was thought that he will be a part of the roster to challenge for trophies. Manager Pep Guardiola had other plans for the squad. With
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Zlatan-Ibrahimovic-c38029 coming into the squad, Keirrison was rendered a fringe player.
With age on his side and a hunger for first team action, and Pep Guardiola favouring experienced players, it was decided in the interest of all parties involved that the prolific striker should be sent on loan to continue his footballing development. Camp
Nou backroom was bombarded with enquiries for his availability, as soon as it was publicly announced.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984 for the first six months of the season. Estadio da Luz outfit had plenty of strikers in the dugout and this restricted the young prodigy to a meagre seven appearances in all competitions.
Due to lack of game time, he failed to find his scoring boots and returned to Catalunya without disturbing the scorers.
A loan move to Fiorentina followed his adventures in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926. He managed to score for the Florence-based side, however, a return of two goals in six months is a poor showing for a player of his promise. Keirrison’s fortunes have continued to deteriorate since
his move away from Brazil. He has been sent back to revive his old goalscoring form, with a loan stint with Santos last season and Cruzeiro in the ongoing campaign.
The twenty-two year old looks to have inherited compatriot Henrique’s career path; both have failed miserably at Camp Nou following their big money moves from South http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/America-c38390. In a span of two years, he has represented seven different clubs. Naturally his
development as a footballer has stalled.
Keirrison’s relationship with Barcelona has failed and he should look for new suitors as soon as possible. Moving from one club to another without certainty about his future is damaging for his development and he should look for a permanent abode.
