Alemão (April 1, 1998, Campo Erê, Brazil) was one of the wishes of Jesús Martínez, owner of Oviedo, to reinforce the blue attack this season. The carioca, who has developed almost his entire career in his country, has gone through different teams. He even went to Japan, where he played for Kyto Sanga in 2017-18. The previous season he was at Club Atlético Metropolitano and from 2018-19 onwards at Criciúma Esporte Clube, Avaí FC (2019-20), Juventus-SC (2020-21), Novo Hamburgo (2021-22) and already since March 2022 at the Porto Alegre International.
“Alemão is a player who is on our radar and on the property’s radar, especially on the property’s,” said Roberto Suárez yesterday morning, highlighting the “level” of the Brazilian and that he had “more suitors.” But in the end, Alemão opted for Oviedo.
The blue sports director explained the reason for the interest in the Rio de Janeiro striker, who scored 14 goals in 71 games with Internacional: “He fits quite well into our game format, he has potential and qualities that are different from those of our players.” On the other hand, Suárez focused on the “profile” of the attacker’s game, which can provide “variants in the offensive game” to the Cervera team, “both in the counterattack and in the positional attack.”
Another issue on the table of the Tartiere technical secretariat is the arrival of a reinforcement for the defense, an express request from Álvaro Cervera who considers that the team is “a little lame” in the positions of center back and right back. Suárez pointed out in this regard that it is an “open front” in the market: “We are working on it, we are seeing which player and moment is the right one, knowing that there is a salary limit and different positions to occupy.” “The markets are often not as we want, maybe progress is faster or you have to wait,” concluded the sports director.
Lastly, Suárez put the accent on the good sensations offered in the first days of training by Sebas Moyano. The winger, recently arrived from Lugo, “is giving better records than expected” in his early days at the blue club. Moyano, Suárez clarified, “comes to play on both wings and on the inside.”
Roman wants to “demonstrate”
However, the man of the day in an Oviedista key was Leo Román, who experienced his presentation as a new Carbayón player at the Carlos Tartiere. On loan from Mallorca B, the goalkeeper faces his stage in the capital of the Principality “with great enthusiasm and a lot of desire.” “It’s a new challenge, I’m going to try to feel important and I hope I can show why I’m here,” confessed the Ibizan.
Román began by wishing his rival in goal, Quentin Braat, a “speedy recovery”, who is expected to be available for his debut in official competition. For the new blue goalkeeper, “starting or not playing doesn’t mean anything”, since “the season is long and the main thing is to work every day”.
Román underlined the human quality of a Carbayón dressing room that has made him feel “very comfortable” from day one. “The reception from both the group and the coach has been very good, I am very happy about it. The good group there is has surprised me quite a bit, it is something very important,” he stressed. Although he barely had minutes, Román was part of the Spanish team that fell against England a few days ago in the final of the European under-21. “It has been a very special month, an unforgettable experience despite losing in the final,” he said.
Farewell to the Raúl Moro option: he will play for Valladolid
As LA NUEVA ESPAÑA advanced, Raúl Moro will play on loan at Valladolid, a club with which he already trained yesterday and which will pay most of his token to his home club, the Italian Lazio, despite Real’s attempts Oviedo for getting the winger back. “We knew it would be difficult. We are not focused on looking for a Moro clone but on signing players with other qualities that suit what we want,” said Roberto Suárez.
At 7:00 p.m., friendly against Racing in El Berrón
Today at 7:00 p.m. the first level test of the Oviedo preseason will take place. It will be against a rival from the Second Division, Racing de Santander, in El Berrón. Those from Cervera arrive after beating Lenense, from the Third Federation, 5-0, in the first test of the preseason. The match against the Cantabrians has been declared high risk by the authorities. Tomorrow morning, the blue expedition will leave for Mexico to begin its concentration in the Aztec country.
