Vasco signing eyes starting spot with chance to impress

The Colombian forward Andrés Gómez will have his big chance to prove himself at Vasco this Wednesday. The player was chosen by coach Fernando Diniz to replace the suspended Rayan. The match against Bahia will be his first as a starter, and a good performance could intensify the competition for a spot in the offensive sector.

Vasco's reinforcement has already made his mark

Since joining the club, Andrés Gómez has participated in four matches, always coming off the bench. Despite the limited time on the field, the Colombian has already shown his worth. He contributed with two assists and has proven to be a player with great offensive potential.

Now, with the chance to start a match, he will have more time to showcase his main characteristics: speed and dribbling ability.

The mission for Gómez won't be easy. The fight for a spot in Vasco's attack is one of the most intense in the squad. Rayan, whom he is replacing, was an undisputed starter in all games under Fernando Diniz. On the other hand, Nuno Moreira is one of the most consistent players and well-adapted to the coach's style.

Versatility is the Colombian's great asset

What could be a differential for the new starter is his versatility. Ambidextrous, Andrés Gómez can perform with the same quality on both sides of the field. A great performance against Bahia could not only secure his spot on the team but also provide Diniz with new and important tactical options for the rest of the season.
