Kevin Serna does not hide his admiration for Paulo Henrique Ganso. In an interview with ESPN, the Colombian forward highlighted the way the Fluminense midfielder manages to play calmly even when the match demands intensity and pressure.

For Serna, playing alongside the No. 10 makes football simpler. The Colombian mainly emphasized Ganso’s ability to stay calm while the other players are speeding around on the pitch.

With Ganso, it’s very easy to play. Sometimes football is easy for a guy like that, right? It surprises you. You see that the guy is very calm while everyone else is nervous, playing at full speed, and he just stays like that.

Serna also drew attention to the way Ganso controls and carries the ball. In the forward’s view, the midfielder’s technical quality makes complex moves look natural.

He controls the ball so simply and makes it seem like things are much easier for him. Football is simple with Gansinho, like I always say.

Ganso earns more space under Marcão

Ganso’s importance at Fluminense, however, is not limited to his performance against Remo. The midfielder gained more space in the closing stretch under Zubeldía, who started using him more frequently again, but he took on an even bigger role after Marcão arrived.

While Lucho Acosta is going through a poor spell, Ganso has established himself as a starter and has been one of the team’s most important players in recent matches, precisely because of his ability to add quality in playing out from the back, control the tempo, and find space even under pressure. This moment mirrors Fluminense’s own upturn.

The run under Marcão has put the midfielder back in a leading role within the squad. And right now, his influence has once again become an important factor for Fluminense to regain confidence and results.
