Givanildo Vieira de Souza

Hulk attacks space and drives runs beyond the line, using his 95kg frame to shield the ball and threaten the back post. Hulk broke through in Japan with Tokyo Verdy, then joined Porto to win the European treble. He then embraced a playmaking SS role. At Zenit St. Petersburg he won titles and expanded his assist range. Back in Brazil, Hulk captained Atlético Mineiro to a domestic double. The Brazil international note sits beside his name as Hulk links play with one-touch layoffs and presses high. Hulk finishes moves and gets shots off quickly, keeping the pressure on defenders. He attacks space and sustains a high, direct forward threat.
