Barry Lewtas was impressed by the impression Arthur Melo made in training with his Under-21 team, noting how important it was for the Reds’ rising youngsters to witness a proper ‘pro’ in action.
The Brazilian midfielder has gone further of late as his teammates without international commitments take a week off ahead of the return of domestic football.
“Our guys train a lot with the first team, but it’s a bit different when you put the jersey on with someone like Arthur,” the Reds’ Under-21 boss told The Athletic.
“You see someone who does everything correctly. You can tell why he is the professional that he is.
