Vasco announce signing of goalkeeper Bruno | OneFootball

Vasco do Acre will have goalkeeper Bruno as reinforcement for the Copa do Brasil

Even at 41 years old, goalkeeper Bruno continues to play as a professional footballer. This Monday (16), the player reported to Vasco do Acre. Now, the athlete is racing against time to be available for the team’s debut in the Copa do Brasil on February 19, against Velo Clube-SP.

Bruno took part in a training session this Monday (16) at Campo da Fazendinha, in Rio Branco, the capital of Acre, where Vasco trains. The reinforcement was confirmed by the team’s own coach, Eric Rodrigues. Now, the goalkeeper needs to be listed in the Daily Information Bulletin (BID) of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) by Wednesday (18) in order to play in the Copa do Brasil debut.

HAS BRUNO PLAYED IN ACRE BEFORE?

In 2020, Bruno played for Rio Branco, from Acre. However, the signing ended up being marked by controversy. Due to the player’s conviction to 22 years in prison for the triple-qualified homicide of model Eliza Samudio, sponsors abandoned the club.

Because of this, Bruno’s stint at Rio Branco lasted only 18 matches, during which the goalkeeper, who takes free kicks and penalties, even scored a goal. At that time, the athlete participated in the second round of the 2020 Acre State Championship and also in the Brazilian Championship Série D.

WHERE HAS BRUNO BEEN, AFTER ALL?

After being imprisoned in 2010, when he played for Flamengo, Bruno spent more time playing in amateur leagues than professionally. Since his release, the goalkeeper has had opportunities at Boa Esporte, Poços de Caldas, Rio Branco, Atlético Carioca, Búzios, Capixaba and now, finally, Vasco-AC.
