PES 2010

Melo was recently been called up to the Brazil national team and therefore was in the Brazil squad in PES 2010, giving him a preset face. He has the card Enforcer which makes him a tough combative player whose sole purpose is to the opposition attack in check which is something that matches his exact style of play. He also has the card Passer which makes him better at making killer balls through the defence, and to match this, he also has high short and long pass accuracy and speed. He also has 1-touch play making him more useful when playing one-twos. To back up the attacking cards he also has Man Marking and Slide Tackling making him mark and slide more effectively. He has high body balance (88) making him better when stuck in a tussle for the ball. He has good shot power making him strike the ball cleaner and if on target could score your team a few goals.

Playing Style

Melo is a strong and combative midfielder who has earned many plaudits with his style of play as he is a midfield general. Although he is prone to several disciplinary cards in real life and PES he is a player who holds the midfield whilst facing a counter attack.
