“Kaka is my hero, he’s Brazilian and I’ve always watched him,” said the 18-year-old upon putting pen to paper. “I’m really grateful to Kaka because I’ve been able to share time with him, he told me a series of things and he was a great player. I like to get into the box and score. I like playing one-twos. I want to be a part of the history of this great club.”
When questioned about his playing style, Reinier replied, “I like to play short, with one-twos. I like to shoot, get into the box, and dribble. I like having efforts on goal and the key elements, scoring and setting up my teammates.”
