Reading some comments, he had a good game. Good in one-on-one, very strong with the head and an excellent long ball.

i have yet to see him play but it seems like he is a darn good defender if in his first year in Europe he is already playing full time in all the official games.

He'd better be good... I mean, 10 million euro for a central defender who is 21 and has little experience is really a high price.

But nice to see he's already establishing himself in the German league which shows he has qualities.

just got one request pep. If its not too much trouble, could you obtain and post the player ratings ratings for henrique's games? since we cant watch his matches i think it would be a way for us to observe his performances to see if he will make the cut at barca. I could use goal.com but i wont always remember we got a player in the bundesliga and check.

I'll see what I can do, barca aficionado. Don't expect it next week but I'll have something one day.

There are also German ratings, but they go from 0 to 5 and the lower, the better. Which is pretty weird.
