Brenner lands in Rio to sign for Vasco, opens up about his bond with Diniz | OneFootball

Forward Brenner, 26 years old, landed in Rio de Janeiro this Friday to sign a contract with Vasco. The player, who came up through the ranks at São Paulo, spoke about his connection with coach Fernando Diniz, with whom he worked at the Tricolor Paulista and at Fluminense. 

“Fernando Diniz doesn’t give you much of a choice. If he calls, you have to come—it’s almost an order. For me, the fact that he’s the coach weighed heavily in my decision. He’s a professional whom both I and even my family admire a lot. I’m happy to be able to work with him again,” said Brenner.

Playing style

Brenner took the opportunity upon arrival to talk about the roles he can play in Fernando Diniz’s team. 

“I’m a team player and I always try to be on the move to have a good chance at finishing. I like to be close to the goal and also drop back to play. I’m here to contribute and add to the team. I thank the Vasco fans for the support they’ve given me on social media. I know how strong the fans are—I’ve played against them before,” Brenner added. 

Last season, Brenner played for Udinese and Cincinnati FC, in the MLS. In total, he played 21 matches, scoring eight goals and providing three assists.
