Lucas Veríssimo’s coach at Santos, Cuca, says that Benfica’s goal is one of the best center-backs in Brazil and the current one in Brasileirão
Lucas Veríssimo is being negotiated by Benfica and Santos coach Cuca says he does not want to be left without the player before the end of the season. In an interview with Rádio Renascença, the 57-year-old Brazilian praises the central defender, who considers the current player in the position as the best player in Brasileirão.
“I hope the best for him. I like him a lot as a professional and as a person. He is an exemplary athlete and I intend to count on him at least until the end of the Brazilian championship, which ends in early February,” he began by saying.
“Lucas Veríssimo is, in my opinion, the best center-back in Brazilian football and one of the best Brazilians, including those who play abroad. He has strength, speed, good technique, he’s manly and he’s good in the air. He’s a full defense, “Cuca said.
The Peixe coach confesses that Lucas Veríssimo received proposals from Benfica and FC Porto and that, had it not been for the delicate situation of Santos, the 25-year-old could have already left the club.
“I have always told him about his departure and the proposals have been coming for a long time. This year there was a proposal from Benfica and FC Porto and it ended up not coming out because we are in a very complicated political year at Santos. It is a year in which there was ‘impeachment’ of the president and the board is in charge, there is no person to solve it, but a council, which makes everything difficult, “he stressed, before praising the Brazilian again.
“Lucas is a European player. Benfica and Porto are great teams and either of them will serve him well. Jorge Jesús has played against him many times here in Brazil, in Flamengo, and he knows the potential he has.” , he finished.
