Born on 9 August 1985 in Jaragua do Sul, Brazil, he is a Brazilian and Italian national, a professional footballer who plays as a defender and currently plays for Atletico Madrid in Spain.
In terms of physical competitive quality, Felipe is 182cm and weighs 70KG. The impact of this body proportion is certainly not too good, slightly thin. Especially at the age of thirty-one or two, when the athletic ability has declined significantly.
In terms of handling the ball, I think he is better than Marcelo, and he is a lot stronger. In the Brazilian national team, Marcelo is the first choice for left-backs, followed by Felipe. Marcelo is strong in the sharpness of the vertical breakthrough and the delicacy of the dribbling. Felipe is strong in terms of the stability of the ball on the flanks and the rationality of running position after a kick is given to a teammate.
Atletico's frontcourt impact is not strong enough, so as a full-back, Felipe does not insert much forward, which is very restrictive for him. Unless the opponent can't control the midfield, he has a better chance of interjecting.
Conclusion: A player's true ability can not be understood through his popularity a lot of times, Felipe is not famous, but the ability is really there. Now the best atletico's dribbling ability is actually Felipe, which is very surprising, the full-back is actually more able to carry the ball than the forward midfielder, which is a bit funny.
Subject to Atletico's system, Felipe was too limited. The national team needs a powerful left-back like Marcelo, which can only be said to be bad.
