At São Paulo, he played less and more as a midfielder. However, in this way, he showed that he works well and is more adapted, which could be a tip to improve his level at Tricolor. follow Lance! on G o o g l e News Most read 1 Off the field Vini Jr.'s attitude with Mbappé for Real Madrid draws attention on the web 2 Off the field Brasileirão: see title chances after Botafogo draw with Palmeiras victory 3 Off the field fans Botafogo elected guilty of partial defeat: 'It's called failure' 4 Launch!
