A first cap for Vanderson with Brazil!

A first cap for Vanderson with Brazil!
Having come on at the very end of the game, the Monegasque right back played his first official minutes for the Brazilian national team against Guinea (4-1).

It was his first appearance in the big time! This Saturday, Brazil faced Guinea in a friendly match played in Spain. With a dominant win in this match (4-1), the Seleção gained confidence and granted playing time to several players in the squad, including Vanderson who earned his first cap when he came on in added time.

An impressive display from Brazil

On the bench at kick-off, the Monegasque right back had a close up view to admire the efficiency of his teammates, who went two goals ahead after half an hour of play thanks to Joelinton and Rodrygo. If the Guineans managed to close the gap before half-time, Madrid defender Militao gave new life to his team when they returned from the locker room, before Vinicius finished the scoring from the penalty spot at the end of the match (88′, 4-1) .

 Vandi comes on

Ramon Menezes then made several changes and our Monegasque Vanderson made his first appearance five minutes later, in place of Danilo. It was a big moment  rewarded his consistency  throughout the season, as he played in  39 matches in all competitions combined with one goal and four assists.

Even if he did not have time to show himself in two minutes of play, the native of Rondonópolis will have another opportunity to prove his qualities Tuesday evening at 9 p.m., with a final match this season against Senegal. He will thus reuinte with his teammates in Rouge et Blanc — Krépin Diatta and Ismail Jakobs — and could even defend against the latter. Parabens Vandi! 🇧🇷
