The defensive midfielder was one of the spearheads of the Brazilian national team at the Under-20 World Cup, but he hasn’t shown his potential yet at Vasco
Leader in tackles and interceptions, Marlon Gomes was one of the protagonists of the Brazilian national team at the Under-20 World Cup, but has not yet shown his potential at Vasco. With Andrey leaving for Chelsea, the defensive midfielder is looking for space in the starting line-up and tries to demonstrate his qualities at Cruzmaltino.
Marlon, who recently extended his contract with Vasco until 2026, has played nine games – three starts – for the club this season, but no goalscoring participation. The numbers are discrepant from his performance in Serie B last year, when he scored two goals and provided two assists in 18 games.
Against Internacional in the last round of the Brazilian championship, the player played his first match after his spell with Canarinho, but he didn’t have a great performance. The #25 started 80 minutes and had only three interceptions before being replaced by Barbieri.
Vasco fans can’t wait for the defensive midfielder to show his true professional football and, with Jair’s good performances in the Brasileirão, calls for the duo in the first team have increased. For this, Marlon Gomes will have to demonstrate the potential of him, and quality is what the 19-year-old boy is not lacking.
His good football in the Selection has “grown the eyes” of European clubs in recent months. Milan and Fenerbahçe, from Turkey, appear in the speculation of the international press, but, so far, no offer has been made to the player. The fine of him is 16 million euros (84 million R $).
Menino da Colina has the talent to conquer the space in Cruzmaltino. If he repeats the results of Amarelinha – where he won the South American title – he could add quality to a lacking position in the squad and even become a highlight in the campaign for Brasileirão. Against Goiás next Thursday (22nd), in São Januário, Marlon Gomes will have the opportunity to show the fans the football that has attracted European attention.
