Bruno Fuchs wants Palmeiras stay, praises his versatility | OneFootball

The defender Bruno Fuchs was one of the main highlights for Palmeiras in the 4-1 thrashing of Juventude last Saturday at Allianz Parque, in a postponed match from the 12th round of the Brazilian Championship. The defender scored the third goal for Verdão, his first wearing the club’s shirt.

However, Fuchs’ stay at Palmeiras is uncertain. On loan from Atlético-MG, the player’s contract with the Barra Funda club runs until the end of the season. Although he is unsure about his future, he has expressed a desire to stay with the team.

“I really don’t know. Obviously, I want to stay at Palmeiras. I’ve said this before. I’m very happy here. It’s a huge club, I was well received by both the staff and the players. It’s a new group that’s forming, there have been a lot of changes. But I’m very happy and I’ll leave that to Anderson, Abel, and my agents. I don’t know what my situation is,” said the defender in the mixed zone after the match.

Abel wants Fuchs to stay

If it’s up to Abel Ferreira, Bruno Fuchs will remain a Palmeiras player. In the post-match press conference, the coach said he likes the player and confirmed that the club will keep him in the squad.

“He’s a player we like and we’re going to keep him,” revealed Abel.

Multiple positions

Bruno Fuchs can be a versatile player. Lined up as a central defender in a back three, he also appeared in midfield with the ball and was responsible for building up play. The player stated he is ready to play in any position.

“I can play as a defensive midfielder (1st volante). After the match against São Paulo, he already knew about the absences we would have. He said in the team talk: ‘Bruno, get ready because this weekend you’ll be the number 5.’ I’m prepared. If I have to play as a center-back, full-back, midfielder, or attacking midfielder, wherever I have to play, I’ll try to help as much as possible. Sometimes we might perform a bit better in one position than another. But always for the shirt, always doing what the coach asks, we’ll try to do it,” he commented.
