Dante the difference for Bayern this Season?
Since moving to Germany, Dante has created an almost heroic persona for his awesome footballing ability and his distinctively long hair.His first move to Germany was to Borussia Monchengladbach where his somewhat natural and explosive defensive performances got him noticed by European giants Bayern Munchen. With there decisions made after 3 years of watching carefully, he was purchased for only €5 million to the sadness of his afro wig wearing fans at his old club. Since his move Bayern have only conceded 2 away goals so far this season, which a huge feat considering last season they ended with a record of 28 away goals and 16 conceded. As Dante has been the only significant change to the the defence, it is undoubtable that his single handed influence on the squad has undoubtably driven Bayern to the title as they are 15 points ahead of their rivals.
The Brazilian center back has a great physical presence, can run with the ball, charge forward and even begin attacks from a defensive midfield position. He is extremely calm in possession, great arial threat and an overall great athlete. Footage of the 27 year old training with his fellow Brazilians at Bayern show there are many strings to this all-rounders bow and that we can only expect greater things to come of this dream defender.
