Against the Corinthians, the "new" Luiz Gustavo wants to help Vasco – Sports

Luiz Gustavo returns with this season as a right-back and says he's already in the position. The change is positively produced

When he was hired by Vasco earlier this year, Luiz Gustavo challenged the defender position, but ended up always preferred by other teammates. Because of Cruz-Maltino's need, he began to improvise on the right side, gained confidence and did not leave. In front of the Corinthians, at 11:00 this Sunday at Mané Garrincha, in Brasília (DF), the "new" Luiz Gustavo wants to continue to help the Carioca team, with good defensive performances – despite the change of position. Spear! transmits the confrontation in real time.

Luiz Gustavo is adapted on the right side. And even though he says that he continues to play the role of defender, a position that started in football, it is already said that he is back, feeling good. The change of place began with the coach of the time, Zé Ricardo, followed by the current coach Jorginho. This case of definitive exchange of the function was common in São Januario, it is worth emphasizing. Yago Pikachu, currently top scorer and scorer of the season with 14 goals, is back to back but has been offensive to the midfield.

– I've already played in this position in another club, but with a sequence of games you get more confidence and pace of play. Things happen naturally, and I can say that I feel very comfortable in this role. It's funny because I went to the club as a defender, but since the beginning of the year, Zé Ricardo had put me in training. Today, I can say that I am a side player, I feel good playing there, but I am still able to play defender – the player said on Vasco's official website before finishing the game. Sunday:

– It's a fundamental game for us because a win will allow us to fight at the top of the table. We intend to make a good game, to put into practice everything that Professor Jorginho has experienced in recent days, but we know it will not be easy. Corinthians has lost some players, but remains an excellent team. If we repeat the performance of the last games of the Brazilian, we have a good chance to get out of here with the win. I'm happy with this fan recognition. This support is what motivates us even more. The incentive will be fundamental for us at this important match.

With Vasco's jersey, Luiz Gustavo has already entered the field eight times, according to LANCE figures! Footstats. There were 15 disarranges, with an important role in Vasco's tactical scheme. The right-back now has the opportunity to show his service as a starter, arguing for the position with Rafael Galhardo and Lenon, other options for the sector, but are recovering injuries. If it is to Luiz Gustavo, Cruz-Maltino will return to Rio de Janeiro with three points for the victory over the Corinthians and ahead in the title match with the team.
