The pronunciation is exactly like the famous legend boxer he was named after by his mother, but his name is spelled Taison. Taison Barcellos Freda is 21 years old and plays for Internacional.
Not a regular starter yet for the Gaucho club, he became, after three months in 2009, the top scorer of the year in the country (although right now only the State competitions and Brazil’s cup is being played – Brasileirao won’t start until May).
But more than his 14 goals in the beginning of Brazilian season (exception of Gremio, local rival, all other clubs were quite weak), Taison shows great and, like every other boy starting in Brazilian football right now, does the ‘pedaladas’ in Denilson and Robinho style. But, not like Denilson and better than Robinho, he scores a lot although he can still set up plays for his team mates. He is very fast, not so tall. Not a good header like Pato, but much faster.
Older than Pato, he took a longer time to reach the Inter first team. But the great group Inter has right now (Nilmar, D’Alessandro, Guinazu, Kleber among other stars) made his life easier. He fit on the first team and had a great.
