2016 Summary: Ilsinho gave the Philadelphia Union fans a lot of hope at the beginning of the season. He has an impeccable pedigree, winning a UEFA Cup with Shakhtar Donetsk and representing his native Brazil on their national team, and it was the hope that this would only add to the Philadelphia Union’s offensive prowess. He did - however not as often as he could (or perhaps should) have.
What did he do right?: Ilsinho brings a level of technical ability that is unparalleled in MLS. When he’s out on the wing, the opposing left back is going to run the risk of being on the wrong end of a highlight video.
