Vasco try Facundo Colidio at centre-forward, and he impresses | OneFootball

Forward Facundo Colidio has joined the Vasco squad’s training routine and has made a positive impression on the coaching staff led by Pedro Emanuel. The player’s movement in daily sessions has caught the attention of the assistant coaches, especially his ability to attack the space behind the opposing defensive line.

Colidio’s signing came in response to a direct request from technical director Felipe Loureiro and football director Admar Lopes. The club’s executives identified a need in the market to bring in a player with the profile of a second striker to strengthen the attacking unit of the professional squad at São Januário.

Brenner injury changes plans and opens up center-forward spot at Vasco

The initial tactical plan drawn up by the football department was to use Facundo Colidio in his natural role, playing freely in the second line of attack. However, the left foot ligament injury suffered by forward Brenner forced the coaching staff to change their plans for how to use the Argentine signing in Vasco’s upcoming matches.

With the starter unavailable, as he will need surgery and is expected to be sidelined for around 120 days, Colidio is now being tested as the main center forward.

The coaching staff’s performance analysis department believes the Argentine has physical and technical qualities similar to those of Brenner, who had been showing tactical improvement and becoming established in the starting lineup.
