Ribeiro has wowed and stunned pundits and fans in recent months and even prompted Orlando Pirates supporters to applaud as he was subsisted off after scoring an incredible goal from a solo run during Sundowns' 4-1 victory over Pirates in February.
His teammate, Coetzee has revealed that what fans are seeing on match day is exactly what his teammates see everyday at training from the Brazilian wizard.
"I don't know what to say about Ribeiro," Coetzee said on the latest episode of the Pitchside Podcast.
"You can't say anything about that (Ribeiro's quality). You can just see he is Brazilian. He enjoys football. He always wants the ball, he wants to be on the ball but big ups to him and the team.
"That's one thing, he trains that way. You see the dribbling and the runs it's the same thing he does in training.

"That's why it looks so easy for him in a match, because if I'm a defender and he is a striker, or if I'm a six and he is a 10 maybe. If I'm behind him. I'll never get the ball.
"I have to be next to him so I can intercept or his teammates can't pass it to him but once you are behind him, don't bother, give him the ball. You won't get it. "He will role you, or shibobo or something then he is gone."
