Was he on the field while Sandro went off & conceded that goal? Looked good again.

i think he hadnt entered yet but i could be wrong

Against Malmo looked better. Against Juve, it looked like people wanted to cover his space which can lower his gain of experience.

No Bonera was alone.

yes you're right, Ely entered the match after we conceded Vucinic's goal

He is a 17 year old brasilian defender in ac Milan! Come on people... If you cannot see the talent in this boy then just dont write stuff. How many 17 year olds play CB in great club with such passing on their mind, no fear at all! And 1 on 1 he is superb at times.

Go Ely! You'll see in 2,3 years...

His defense is pretty good but his passing is abysmal. Needs to really cut down on those long hollywood passes to nowhere and keep it simple...

Kid, you aint Silva level yet

he's got the right idea though. gotta admit that. i hope he turns out to be another great defender, eventually becoming as good as Silva, if not, better. he's got alot of years to go yet. but for 17 years, the potential is there.

Sage · Aug 22, 2011

looks solid, promising.

Ely only 17 years Old. He has enormuous potential. Very good againts Juve when he replace Nesta

+1. I guess he is not used to the tempo of real games and just don't know how to judge his pass at this level. Well, that's the best excuse I could come up with.

He's like Gerard Pique

Bunnee · Aug 22, 2011

2, 3 years? He's 17 and already playing with the oldies. He is going to be ready by the end of a season

Interesting comment by Galli bout Ely

"It 'an interesting player, very good. If you're ready for the big leap? Must increase in aggression and speed of thought when the team is in possession of the ball. Also has dual passports (the Brazilian and Italian, ndc), and can be quickly inserted in the Under 19 ".

exactly what I thought and said when we saw him playing vs Malmoe

I recall that game. First half, he played in Thiago's position which he did pretty good. In second half, he moved in Nesta's side and he began to struggle.

What does he mean by "inserted in the Under 19s" like NT stuff?

Hes talented but always felt from his showing against Malmo that hes a bit fragile. A bit of bulking up would go a long way.

...ely has the double passport so he can choose beteween Italy and Brazil.

Hmm, that's what I thought. Would be nice if he chooses Italy over Brazil

And that's exactly what happened.

edit: although playing at youth level doens't mean anything, you can still play for your second country on senior level (e.g. Prince Boateng)

hmmm Kingsley plys for Italy's youth teams too. I like it, hopefully they will make it to the senior team as well

Kasoka · Nov 11, 2011

Just heard his agent is Raiola. Im not sure if that's good or bad.

SpartanMilan · Nov 12, 2011

^ I dont think it is good or bad.

I really do like he is playing for the Italy U-19 NT, it would be nice for him to progress up the ranks with the Azzurri

TS33 · Nov 13, 2011

Haven't seen much of this kid lately but I'm hoping he'll develop into a very strong, reliable player. Lord knows we need some defenders that we can actually rely on, as opposed to acting as stop-gaps.

belloefamoso · Nov 13, 2011

Ely playing very well at primavera team. 7point against verona.

AsparagusFC · Nov 13, 2011

he's slow.

acmf2002 · Mar 29, 2012

U19: Italy 2 Turkey 0. Rodrigo Ely was the captain and played for 82' min!!

yagami7gnr · Jul 15, 2012

Kind of slow and to be the stopper, he made a bad jump for the first goal of Ambro. Second quarter, it seems that he did not played. From what I have seen from this game and the game lost 3-4 to Inter. He looks that he has good vision, passing skills (long & short) However, defending he lacks confidence the most plus once he makes a mistake, it seems they keep coming (mostly from the tape against Inter when he was many times out of position) Kind of reminds of onyewu which it is a bad thing; but, I think he needs to read the game better.

Jivara · Jul 15, 2012

I remember he was naive the time he got the chance to play for us in last season's friendlies... trying to do the fancy stuff while he was last man
