Vasco stand-out Cuiabano makes future clear: “I hope to stay” | OneFootball

Left-back Cuiabano is enjoying an extremely special and prolific spell in the heavyweight shirt of Vasco da Gama. After missing the team’s first matches of the season, the talented player earned much more space and became a key tactical piece in the main squad’s system. In the middle of this excellent run on the pitch, the defender gave an interview this past Sunday (29), in which he spoke openly about his career, said he is very happy, and openly stated that he intends to stay at the Rio club for much longer.

Signed at the start of the year on loan from Nottingham Forest, of England, the player highlighted his quick adaptation and recent major improvement in Brazilian football. The full-back’s sincere statement further reinforces the strong emotional bond he has built with the atmosphere at São Januário and with the squad. During an exclusive conversation with journalists from TNT Sports, the Vasco player assessed his performances and made his wish clear:

+ Exit risk! Europeans are eyeing Cuiabano and Vasco is preparing a big-money move

The impact of Renato Gaúcho

The defender’s sharp improvement in form perfectly coincides with the high-profile arrival of coach Renato Gaúcho in Rio de Janeiro. The new Vasco manager has given the squad a daily boost of confidence and granted the full-back much more attacking freedom on the field. Under this new tactical leadership, the player has turned into a real surprise weapon in the system, getting into the opposition box frequently and dangerously.

The impressive numbers this season prove the excellent form of Vasco’s young talent. In just six matches wearing the Maltese cross on his chest, the player has already recorded two goals and three assists, statistics considered very impressive for a defensive player and ones that justify his attacking profile. The board is already keeping an eye on this steady development with a possible future purchase of his economic rights in mind.

Focus on the Brasileirão and Vasco’s next challenge

Driven by the standout performances of its left-back, Vasco is going through a major period of technical improvement this season. The Rio side currently sits 9th in the Brazilian Championship table, with 11 points, and is working hard to move closer to the coveted top spots in the first division.

With his confidence sky-high and showing it in interviews, Cuiabano gives Vasco fans another excellent reason to believe in the team’s unbeaten run in the tournament. The next big challenge for Renato Gaúcho’s side will be a tough direct clash against Coritiba, scheduled for this coming Wednesday (01) at 8:30 p.m., for the 9th round of the national competition.
