Happy Birthday, Douglas Costa!

Happy Birthday to Juventus winger, Douglas Costa!

Since joining on an initial loan from Bayern Munich last year, Costa has been absolutely phenomenal. In 31 Serie A appearances last season, he registered 4 goals with 12 assists. This is by no means bad for a player in his first year with a new team/league.

Towards the end of the season, it was clear that Costa had settled in with rest of the team. He was by far one of the best players to watch. With his combination of speed, dribbling, vision and agility, he made defenders look like Amateurs.

Here’s a perfect example of what I mean. He ran like The Flash, made four opposition players look like rookies and provided a brilliant pass that led to a goal.

It’s no surprise that during the summer transfer window, Juventus opted to purchase him. He will definitely be an important addition to the team as he’s already proven to be. I’m predicting that he will make his numbers from last season look insignificant compared to the output he’ll have put in by the end of the current season.

Happy Birthday once again, and Forza Juve!
