Hyuri: o estrelato mundial numa única jogada


O golaço de Hyuri na sua estreia pelo Glorioso valeu o estrelato mundial – a ele e ao clube, que ainda vê Clarencde Seedorf e Rafael Marques mencionados.

Face a tão grande impacto nos jornais estrangeiros, o Botafogo tem a incumbência de gerir com o maior cuidado a carreira do jovem avançado, porque os ‘olheiros’ dos grandes clubes já o colocaram certamente na lista dos atletas a observar e acompanhar após andar nas bocas do mundo pela única e fabulosa partida envergando a Camisa Gloriosa.

Sem qualquer intenção de pesquisa exaustiva, segue-se a compilação de alguns dos encómios recebidos por Hyuri devido à sua soberba atuação.

JORNAL RECORD

«Botafogo’s Hyuri dances through defenders to score impressive solo goal on his debut»


Making his debut for Botafogo (on loan from Audax Rio), 21-year-old Botafogo striker Hyuri decided that the best way to introduce himself to his new teammates is with incredible goals. He started off by scoring in the 40th minute of Botafogo's match against Coritiba to make it 2-0, but that was only the warm-up.

A mere nine minutes later, Hyuri barreled towards goal and when the Coritiba defender converged on him, he navigated his way through them with the ball stuck to his feet. At one point he is surrounded by three opponents, but he stopped, turned, maintained control of the ball and fired a perfect strike into the far side of the net.

Botafogo went on to win 3-1 and now Hyuri has set a very high standard for the rest of his stay with the club.

Be sure to watch all the replays to fully appreciate what he was able to do.


YAHOO SPORTS FRANCE

«Ce jeune joueur de Botafogo s'est joué de toute la défense de Coritiba avant de tromper le gardien. Facile.»

“Botafogo (3ème de Serie A brésilienne) recevait la surprenante équipe de Coritiba (8ème au classement) à l'occasion de la quatrième journée du championnat brésilien.

L'équipe du toujours fringuant Clarence Seedorf s'est logiquement imposée 3 buts à 1, grâce notamment à un doublé d'un jeune meneur de jeu bourré de talent : Hyuri Henrique de Oliveira Costa (21 ans).

Après l'ouverture du score signée Rafael Marques dès la 13 ème minute de jeu, Hyuri a tout d'abord porté le score à 2-0 d'un but de la tête avant de clore le spectacle d'une action de grande classe.

Le numéro 17 de Botafogo a en effet passé en revue toute la défense adverse avant de terminer le travail d'une frappe croisée imparable pour le 3-0. Du très grand art.”

«Wondergoal Alert: Botafogo's Hyuri Scores Outrageous Solo Goal on Debut»

Botafogo’s 21-year-old striker Hyuri had just arrived on loan from Audax Rio, and he marked his debut for the club with a truly remarkable solo goal.

Most players are happy enough to simply score on their debut – which is precisely what Hyuri managed to do after 40 minutes against Coritiba – but it's the second goal you can see here.

Four minutes into the second half, Hyuri was fed the ball from a free kick and managed to do all of the following:

1. Turn and break away from one defender on the wing.
2. Charge into the penalty area.
3. Jink his way past the next defender using a series of stepovers and shimmying onward.
4. Find himself in a trap with three Coritiba players closing in on him.
5. Stop almost dead.
6. Navigate his way out of trouble with a dragged backheel.
7. Position himself toward the goal with all three defenders left for dead.
8. Beat the goalkeeper with a ferocious shot into the far corner.

It's the sort of goal that keeps getting better the more times you look at it, so that's precisely why there's several replays on the clip above of Hyuri's run and finish.

Of course, there's only one small downside to doing something like that in your debut: The expectation levels may just go through the roof.

Still, with a brace of goals on your debut in what eventually proved to be a 3-1 win forBotafogo, Hyuri probably won't care all that much.

«Hyuri's goal will make your jaw drop

Check out his amazing moves on YouTube»


If you watch only a minute of football today, make it the otherworldly goal scored by Botafogo playmaker Hyuri in Thursday's match against Coritiba.

 

Look it up on YouTube. Type in "Hyuri Botafogo" and put your hand under your jaw to catch it when it drops. The play lasts only six seconds from start to finish, but you'll want to watch it again and again. And again.

 

You're welcome.

 

Even the Brazilian press, which is fortunate enough to see displays of football magic on a regular basis, was left spellbound by the goal.

 

Highly credible Globo bestowed the label "craque" on Hyuri -- an awestruck way to refer to the player as an "ace." They included the 21-year-old in their Team of the Week, and despite the fact he was making his Botafogo debut the comparisons with Vitinho were already being bandied about.

 

Vitinho, 19, is the prodigious midfielder who took the Brasileiro by storm this season before agreeing to a shock move from Botafogo to CSKA Moscow on Monday.

 

Although he hadn't even completed a full year of senior Brazilian football he had done enough to catch the eye of the Russian giants, and after being offered a five-year contract he signed off on the move, opting to leave the country a bit earlier than many of his fellow craques had done in recent years.

 

Not surprisingly, many of the club's fans were left devastated by Vitinho's transfer, but in the arrival and sudden, spectacular debut of Hyuri they seem to have found a player capable of replacing their former favourite. (Incidentally, both Hyuri and Vitinho came through at fourth-tier Rio de Janeiro side Audax Rio in 2007.)

 

"It is inevitable to talk about Vitinho's departure and my arrival," Hyuri told Sport TV following his two-goal showing at the Maracana. "For me there is no such comparison. I've just been going about my work since I arrived. I want to stand out in the best possible way."

 

Having the clip of a goal in his debut go viral is a pretty good way to stand out, but if Hyuri is to develop into the sort of player Vitinho has been tipped to become he knows it won't be good enough to be a one-hit wonder.

 

To that end, he -- like Vitinho -- has sought the advice and support of Clarence Seedorf -- the former Ajax, Real Madrid and AC Milan star who is finishing up his career with Botafogo.

 

"It's always good to be talking to (Seedorf), who knows how things work for young players," he said. "I had the chance to learn (from him) the moment I got here."

 

He could hardly ask for a better mentor. After all, through much of the 1990s and part of the last decade Seedorf was one of the most impactful, playmaking midfielders in the sport, and his play has hardly tailed off since he arrived in Brazil.

 

The 37-year-old has scored five goals in the 2013 Brasileiro to date, and with 18 rounds in the books Botafogo are third in the table -- just four points back of leaders Cruzeiro. They'll face Criciuma on Sunday, and Hyuri will likely be handed just his second start with his new team.

 

Perhaps he'll reprise his debut, although it's unlikely. Such goals come around only once or twice over the course of a season, which is why we tend to revisit them. They encapsulate, in a matter of moments, the very best the sport has to offer.

 

So what exactly did Hyuri do?

 

After accepting a layoff on the right flank he turned his marker and bolted into the area, jinking past one defender and then stopping dead in his tracks, dragging the ball past the two remaining defenders with a cultured back-heel before pulling the ball onto his left foot and beating the goalkeeper inside the far post.

 

Craque, indeed.
