Max Walef was hired to reinforce the Ukrainian national team last season and ended his time at the club with 57 appearances in total. At 25, the Brazilian left the field without being fouled. The goalkeeper was the decisive factor in Ukraine's runners-up campaign, finishing the tournament without scoring a goal in half of the games - with eight clean sheets. Furthermore, Max was the goalkeeper who spent the most minutes in a row without making a mistake, which was also crucial in the team's Conference League campaign. The goalkeeper played for Fortaleza for 13 years, participating in the club's historic achievements: the Brazilian Series B title in 2018 and the two-time Copa do Nordeste title. Max Walef said goodbye to Leão in 2022, just in time for him to become a starter in Tricolor's first Libertadores campaign in history.
