As a Galatasaray fan, I’m glad you decided to tell the story of Alex. Alex played straight 8 seasons for our rival Fenerbahçe, being a total nightmare for those he played against, especially Galatasaray. But he was loved by all the football fans in Turkey, regardless of the team. He became a legend for his genius skills with the ball, insane statistics of goals and assists. More importantly, he was a true character both in and out of the field. At a time when it was common for 30+ aged star players to come Turkey for big amounts of money, without playing much; he became a legend like george hagi. I wish him all the best, not only for his skills but also for his character as a person. ❤ Alex de Souza

I'm a Flamengo fan, but his 2003 in Cruzeiro was nuts. Maybe Neymar's 2011 in Santos could compare to it, but no other player was this dominant in the Brazilian league in the last 25 years at least. Edmundo had a fantastic season in 1998... and maybe we really need to go back to Zico to find a good comparison. He is my idol in football. I wanted to be like him. Brazilians and Turks always knew he was massively underrated. Maybe the rest of the world can catch up...

@danielkniss 4 ай бұрын

Just a little correction: The best season of Edmundo was in 1997, In 98 he was already in Fiorentina. Sometimes I got it confused too, because the best Edmundo's season was for Vasco in 97, and the best Vasco's season was in 98, winning the Copa Libertadores.

Thanks for this video! It's comforting to know that more people outside of Brazil recognize Alex's greatness. Even though I'm Brazilian and privileged to have seen Alex play up close for years, his career is one of the biggest injustices in world football. He never got the glory or spotlight that his career truly deserved even though he is said to be a GENIUS by other legends. Alex is considered by fans in Brazil to be the most technically refined player of his entire generation, even more so than the legends Ronaldo and Ronaldinho. He is truly one of the best and most underappreciated players I have ever seen. If you ask in Brazil how Alex was left off the list for the 2002 World Cup? Not even the players themselves at the time know.

Since he was sent, I havent gone to a match. İt just feels something is missing.

Alex is the greatest Brazilian player to never play a World Cup match. He had everything you would expect from a number 10: the vision, the passing range, the dribbling, the free kicks, the moments of genius and to top it all, Alex was a goalscoring menace. This dude could outscore most attackers in a season. He was lethal from deadballs, from inside or outside the box, he would do impossible chip shots, place unstoppable shots on the top bin. And this man was a clutch: the bigger the game, the bigger were the chances he would score. He never played for my team Sao Paulo FC, but he's definitely THE PLAYER i wanted to see playing for us.

As a Fenerbahçe fan, Alex is one of if not the best foreign players we ever had. Even in our toughest years, he lead the team. He won 3 Turkish League, 1 Turkish Cup and 2 Super Cup titles; he was the top goalscorer twice in Turkish League and even had the most assists in 2007-2008 Champions League season when Fenerbahçe played all the way to the quarter-finals. He is the only non-Turkish player ever to pass 100 goals in Turkish League (and 13th most scoring player ever). His farewell to the club was not good due to having problems with the club president and the manager at that time (club president even got angry at fans chanting Alex's name). But he is still loved by the fans (not only by Fener but also by rival fans) so much that he is one of the rare players in Fenerbahçe who got a statute.

I had the privilege of seeing Alex in his most magical year, according to him: 2003! The year in which my team, Cruzeiro, orchestrated by this monster player, won almost everything they played for! Even winning the two most important national tournaments in the same year: the Brazilian League and the Brazilian Cup! That year, Cruzeiro lost only 8 games out of 71 played! Alex is quietly the best player to have played for Cruzeiro in the last 30 years, and look, in that same period guys like Dida, Maicon, Sorín, Ronaldo, etc. have played here.

The first player that I tried the mimic the playstyle on the pitch, he's still my one of favorites although he played for my club's biggest rival. And by the way you're doing an amazing job giving the recognition that players outside of the top 5 leagues deserve. The fact that you know these legends of the beautiful game exist and how important their feats are is proof of how knowledgeable about the sport you really are, there's a lot of people talking about football out there but if I were to choose a single one to listen to for my entire life that would be you. No wonder your channel is doing great, you deserve it. Abraços do Brazil😊

Most Brazilians would rank Alex higher than Kaká and Adriano and some would even put him above Rivaldo and Neymar as an all-time Brazilian great. Alex had enormous talent, intelligence and integrity. Growing up he was the player I wanted to be, even though I'm são-paulino and he played for my team's rival Palmeiras. When I visited Istanbul, I went to Fenerbahçe's stadium just so I could take a picture with his statue. In terms of style and football IQ, Alex reminds me of Cruyff, but with a bit of Brazilian flair. He was a youngster when Rivaldo was at the peak and was overshadowed by Ronaldinho and Kaká as Brazil's number 10. Sometimes life is just not fair.

And the day he left our team Fenerbahçe, we still are feeling so bad for that day. It is heartbreaking for the fans of Fenerbahçe. I am sure that Alex is loved the most in Fenerbahçe in his all career journey and we are thankful to him for all the great things we have lived together with him.
