Acosta hails Ganso, eyes partnership: "Now the ball is smiling"

One of the main highlights of Fluminense in this final stretch of the season, Lucho Acosta has been captivating the fans. The Argentine midfielder has been the key player in the offensive creation for Zubeldía's team. In an interview with Lance, Acosta praised the tricolor's number 10, Paulo Henrique Ganso.

“He is a player who makes everyone play better. With him, it's easy to play: just give him the ball. The other day, when he returned to training, I told him: ‘Now the ball is smiling.’ Even before I arrived, I already loved watching him play. To this day, he does magnificent things. I pay attention to where he positions himself, the vision he has. To me, he is an idol. I like how he treats the ball.

Ganso has not played since September 13, in the match against Corinthians, when he injured his calf and left the game at the end of the first half, still under the command of Renato Gaúcho.
