“It is often impossible to think about the children of players without looking at their parents. Maldini, Gudjohnsen, Zidane… the list is long, but the weight of the comparisons is usually greater,” wrote AS, placing Joao among the heirs of great names trying to build their own history.

Joao Mendes, currently playing for Hull City in England, faces his second challenge in the country after a secret spell with Burnley’s Under-21s. Before that, he had experiences with Cruzeiro in Brazil, and with the youth teams at Barcelona, ​​where he was seen as a promising bet because he followed in his father’s footsteps.

However, the newspaper highlights that the young man’s path was “checkered from the beginning.” In a recent interview with BBC Radio, Joao tried to downplay the comparisons:

-I don’t feel any pressure. I’ve always made it clear that I’m me and he’s him. He said: “It is normal for people to look at me as his son, but this does not affect the way I play.”

However, it is noted that the striker has not yet been able to translate this speech into performance on the field. The publication indicates that the player signed a one-year contract with Hull City last September, and sees the new stage as a final opportunity to advance his career.

The newspaper said: “He is seeking to win a place and dreams of playing with the first team, but he still needs to show consistency,” noting that Joao is trying to “relaunch his career in the country where Ronaldinho has never played before.”
