Rivaldo is the best Brazilian player at this moment. The midfielder/striker scores goals all the time for Brazil and Barcelona. His freekicks are feared all over the world. His dribbles are amazing aswell. Despite all these qualities the Barcelona coach isn't always fond on him.
After he got voted 'player of the year' January 2000, he desided not to play on the left wing postion anymore for Barcelona. Coach Louis van Gaal reacted on that with leaving him out the squad, so Rivaldo had no choich but to play where his coach wants him.
Rivaldo will be a player to watch for at least 5 years more years, because there's still some space to improve and he's still very ambitious.
