Diniz names Paulo Henrique’s replacement at Vasco for Grêmio clash | OneFootball

Coach Fernando Diniz already has a plan in place to make up for the absence of Paulo Henrique in Vasco da Gama’s match against Grêmio, for the Brazilian Championship. With the right-back suspended after being sent off against Juventude and Puma Rodríguez serving the Uruguayan national team, the coach is expected to bet on Tchê Tchê as the starting right-back.

The midfielder, known for his versatility, has already played in the position as an improvisation under Diniz’s command and has the coach’s trust to perform the role again. The player’s experience and ability to adapt weighed in the decision, which is likely to be confirmed in the next training sessions at São Januário.

“Tchê Tchê is a player who understands the game and fits well in different roles, which gives us balance when we need to adjust the team,” a source close to the coach reportedly said.
