"They want to know what he is all about, and I tell them he's a phenomenon, probably the best player to come out of Brazil."

That's a pretty crazy statement considering he's 9.

Jean began to attract attention after the club put videos with highlights of Jean's matches on its Web site. In the videos, Jean is seen scoring goals from midfield, dribbling past several defenders and playing among 13- and 14-year-olds.

After the videos were posted, the site's page views nearly tripled and some of them had to be removed to keep the site from crashing, the club said.


I'd like to see some of these videos.

Wasn't there a 14 year old playing pro soccer somewhere a couple of years ago... He should be allowed to be a kid first...
