Peru 2005 player's profile
With two goals in three matches during qualifying, Barcelona
boy Giovanni Dos Santos established himself as a standout in
a team chock full of attacking options. Though only a member
of Barcelona’s B-team, his all-around panache and long-range
shooting ability have him looking like a potential Nou Camp star
for the future. The fact that he is a dead ringer for FIFA World
Player of the Year and Barcelona standout Ronaldinho surely won’t
hurt his chances either.
