'Little onion' Everton gives Brazilians renewed optimism at Copa

Brazil’s player Everton takes part in a training session at Cidade do Galo, in Belo HorizonteBrazil, on June 29, 2019, ahead of a Copa America football match against Argentina to take place on July 2. ― APF pic

The dynamic 23-year-old winger has been a revelation for Brazil since earning a starting berth in their final Copa America group game against Peru. And in his home stadium in Porto Alegre, where he plays for Gremio, Everton was the one player who lifted the crowd onto their feet every time he got the ball in an otherwise frustrating blank against Paraguay in the quarter-finals, before Brazil won on penalties.

The other two ― reserve goalkeeper Cassio and second choice full-back Fagner ― have yet to feature, meaning Everton is the only home player gracing the Copa America that local fans are able to watch at close quarters.“He's a player who's ready to play in Europe,” said Felipe Luis.After Everton's scoring cameo against Bolivia, one of the most respected football journalists in Brazil, Juca Kfouri, wrote in the prestigious Folha de S.

“That's one of my characteristics, I like to cut inside,” Everton said after his goal against Venezuela.That was his first goal for the national team, in his seventh appearance, many of which had been as a substitute.
