At 31 years old, the Argentine midfielder Luciano Acosta needed little time to adapt to Fluminense Football Club and become one of the technical leaders of the team. This season, however, the number 10 has gained a new partner to share the offensive spotlight: the Venezuelan Jefferson Savarino.
The duo started to draw attention in Fluminense’s recent matches, especially in the games against Palmeiras and Remo, and have already earned a nickname among fans and players: “SavaLucho”, a name that, according to the Argentine himself, has been approved.
In an interview with ge, Acosta highlighted the good connection on the field and praised his teammate’s qualities.
— I met him in the MLS. I always watched him a lot with the Venezuelan national team and also at Botafogo in previous years. He made a difference. He’s a real talent. He knows when to position himself, when to shoot, he’s really different. We connect a lot, when we play together we have a good connection. We want to dribble, shoot, provide assists, so it’s going to be a good thing — said the midfielder.
The partnership comes at an important moment for Fluminense, which is looking to strengthen its creative sector. Acosta had already been one of the team’s main players since his arrival, taking on the role of “maestro” in midfield and standing out for his playmaking and decisive passes.
With similar offensive characteristics, Savarino increases the creative power of the team led by Luis Zubeldía. Versatile, the Venezuelan can play both centrally and on the wings, offering more tactical options for the coach.
If the chemistry already shown in their first games together is anything to go by, the “SavaLucho” duo could establish itself as one of Fluminense’s main offensive weapons for the rest of the season.
