Aghh, mistake again?
Did you mean Kerlon, not Kelron or Kleber?
Kerlon, "the Seal Dribble kid" is more of a comedian, actor or a circus player, not a footballer. He bounces the ball off his head while running...
He is attractive, funny, but not so efficient. I don't believe that he will reach the heights of Ronaldinho, Robinho or Ronaldo as the people usually say
