The first player of my series where I talk about attacking midfielders is based on Oscar – Chelsea’s new ‘number 10’ according to Jose Mourinho, which has obviously come as a shock to Chelsea fans because they expected Juan Mata to keep his place especially after the season he had.
Oscar arrived in the Premier League from the Brazilian league and a lot has been said about players who have made that switch in the past. They can’t handle the intensity or physicality. But Oscar has proved that this is just a myth because he has adapted extremely well to European football.
He actually likes to get stuck and usually puts his body around which isn’t what you expect to see from someone of his pedigree.
His technical abilities knows no bounds, the sky really isn’t the limit for this player. He’s creative and passionate when attacking and he has a knack for scoring some beautiful goals.
He’s a team player as well. He’ll always fight for his team mates and will run all game if that’s what’s required of him.
An incredible player that Chelsea are very lucky to have.
