Eternal idol of Vasco’s fans, Dedé has returned to represent the Cruz de Malta, but this time in a different sport: footvolley. The former center-back emphasized the emotion of continuing to wear the club’s shirt, now on the sands, and stated that the feeling of honor and pride remains the same, regardless of the setting.

“Wearing Vasco’s shirt will always be special. Whether on the field or on the sand, it’s a huge responsibility and a source of great happiness,” said the defender, who made history at São Januário.
Challenges of the new sport
Speaking about adapting to footvolley, Dedé highlighted the differences compared to football. According to him, the physical demands are intense, in addition to the need for greater technical precision in movements. Despite the challenges, the former player showed confidence in his evolution within the sport, maintaining the discipline that made him famous on the pitch.
Qualification and celebration
In addition to his new phase in footvolley, Dedé took the opportunity to celebrate Vasco’s spot in the semifinals of the Copa do Brasil. The idol praised the strength of the squad and the unconditional support of the fans, reinforcing the greatness of the club and the hope for new achievements.
Whether with the ball at his feet or now on the sand, the “Myth” keeps alive the essence that made him a Vasco symbol: the trademark of always “playing in a suit.”
