Vasco test Facundo Colidio at centre-forward as player impresses staff | OneFootball

Facundo Colidio has impressed Vasco's coaching staff in training since joining the club's daily sessions.

According to PaponaColina, Pedro Emanuel's staff have been struck by his movement, especially his bursts into space behind opposing defenders.

His recruitment answered a direct request from technical director Felipe Loureiro and sporting director Admar Lopes, who identified the need for a second striker profile in the professional group at São Januário.

The initial plan was to use Colidio in his natural role, operating freely on the second line of attack.

Brenner has sustained a ligament injury in his left foot, will require surgery and is set to miss about 120 days, which has forced a rethink of Colidio's role.

He is now being assessed as the team's reference at centre-forward. The performance analysis unit view the Argentine's physical and technical traits as similar to Brenner's, who had been showing tactical growth and consolidating his place in the starting side.
