Comparing Diego to Messi is a little odd, they are nothing alike except for being both great dribblers.
Diego is probably the biggest talent wasted by Porto in recent years. He came over here in 2004 right after we won the Champions League and Mourinho left, hyped as the next big brazilian thing. The dude had obvious massive talent, but the entire team was having a terrible year and he himself failed to show any consistency. The following year he went into a disagreement with the manager Co Adriaanse and we sold him to Werder Bremen. He immediately settled there and became the key man of Bremen, being voted as the best player of the Bundesliga in 2007 I think.
He plays as an attacking midfield playmaker, right behind the forwards, organizing the game from the centre of the pitch and often deciding things on his own as well. Excels in dribbling, technique, creativity and shots from the outside of the area. He's more like a Kaká than a Messi - Messi plays in a different position, as a quick wing forward who likes to cut inside a lot. Diego is a traditional nº 10.
