Balance MindedINFO:Romeu was one of the best Brazilian players during 30s. He was also one of the most extreme cases of changing style of play over the years.
When at Palmeiras he was a powerful center forward who used to break through opponents' defenses, very aggressive towards the goal. He used to take advantage of his strength and technique to pass through defenders.
When a bit older at Fluminense and as always fighting against his overweight he didn't have a first good year at the club. That was when the coach decided to change him to right-inside position replacing an injured Lara.
Romeu adapted very well in the new role and began to show a new version of him, a version much more impressive of himself. He became a great playmaker.
As the writer João Máximo described: Romeu stopped being a star like many to become a star like a few.
