World champion: Paulo Henrique ready for more Brazil call-ups | OneFootball

Former Brazilian National Team full-back and 1994 World Cup champion, Jorginho, heaped praise on Paulo Henrique of Vasco during his appearance on the program Toca e Passa by O Globo. The ex-player highlighted his connection with the Vasco athlete, with whom he shares the same religious environment, and stated that he sees in him “all the qualities of a great full-back.”

– (I identify) more with PH. It’s interesting. We attend the same church in Barra, and I met him a week before he was called up. I told him he was doing well, to stay focused and, if the opportunity arose, to seize it with courage — said Jorginho.

The former player analyzed the qualities of Vasco’s full-back and placed him among the names he liked most in the recent National Team call-ups.

– He marks very well, communicates easily on the field, covers the center-backs well, and is very strong in one-on-one defensive situations. I think both he and Vitinho did very well and could be called up again. We know there are other full-backs, but honestly, they were the ones I liked the most — he concluded.

Paulo Henrique, 29, is enjoying a great phase at Vasco and gained national attention after strong performances in the Brazilian Championship. The full-back joined the club in 2023 and has established himself as a starter this season, becoming one of the defensive pillars of the team.
