Cuca addressed the delicate situation of Lucas Veríssimo after the derby draw with Palmeiras.

Lucas Veríssimo faces a complicated situation in Santos: wanted by Benfica, the 25-year-old center saw his sale vetoed by the Fiscal Council of the São Paulo club for the second time, despite the insistence of Orlando Rollo, interim president of “Peixe”, in need of letting the player out.

Meanwhile, Lucas was already a starter in the match between Santos and LDU Quito, in which he was involved in a confusion with a rival, and returned to join the eleven on Saturday night, in the derby with Palmeiras. The result was set in a draw (2-2), with responsibilities in the two goals scored by Abel Ferreira’s team and, on social networks, there was criticism from the Santos fans.

At the end of the game, Cuca, Santos coach, came out in defense of the player and showed no rounds: the defender must be sold.

“I will speak Portuguese correctly, without half a word. It is the fifth or sixth survey that Veríssimo has had in these years. They have already sold him to Portugal, Ukraine, Russia, Arabia, but he never left here. He is a player who has seen pass the time, many promises that it will be sold. How is the player’s head? You have to assess the dedication he shows on the field, he is a reference. Who owes us is Santos, “he began shooting. Brazilian technician, proceeding:

“We have to give him a solution. The Board approves his sale, but the Supervisory Board does not. Imagine what it was like to play against LDU … On the day of the game, the news came out that the Board had vetoed [a venda]. We have to take our hats off to Lucas Veríssimo. The year has to end and Santos has to sell it in the best way and make new players. We have good loaned players, we are going to get them back, we have trained players, soon we have Luan Peres, who is unlikely to stay … We can’t let him go until December 31st. We have to think about Santos today, otherwise it will get worse ”, concluded Cuca.
