Kleber shines for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Radamel-Falcao-c30276 – Portuguese Primeira Liga News
FC Porto’s new signing Kleber has shown his quality for the club and has proven himself in the absence of Columbian goal-machine, Radamel Falcao, who is currently on extended holidays after his exertions in the Copa America.
25-year-old Falcao was the main attacking threat for the Portistas last season, bagging an incredible 39 goals. His worth to the Portuguese outfit is immense and they have not acquired a player to match his caliber yet.
However, the Brazilian Kleber has been attracting attention for his performances and his goal-poaching skills have been likened to those of Falcao’s. Signing from Maritimo for a paltry sum of €2.3 million, the 21-year-old has indeed been a good investment
by the Estadio do Dragao officials.
Scoring 6 goals in preseason friendlies, it’s no wonder that the Porto fans have started adoring the striker and have made him their poster boy. The crowd, who used to sing about the feats of Falcao, now praise the abilities of Kleber, as demonstrated by
their standing ovation after he was substituted against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Peñarol-c40192.
The former Atletico Mineiro man has also quickly adapted to life at Porto and his playing style is well suited to the Portuguese champions. While it takes a certain period for new recruits to gel with their teammates, Kleber has not wasted any time and has
forged a telepathic understanding with his fellow teammates.
Kleber has forged a good understanding with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hulk-c16436 and Joao Moutinho, players with whom Radamel Falcao used to tear apart defences last season. Better yet still, the forward can slot in alongside Falcao to form a fearsome attack.
Although he has become a very important player for the Dragons, it is still very early to say how he will cope against tougher opposition in Europe and the Portuguese league. This makes it very difficult to predict whether Kleber can really replicate the
dizzying heights Radamel Falcao reached in the 2010/2011 season.
