New recruit of the Mastiff, Alexandro Ribeiro is a young center back full of future. Zoom in on the most popular image in the transition window.
Born in Rio de Janeiro on August 8, 1999, Alexandro Ribeiro trained at Flamengo, one of the city’s most popular clubs. He joined Resende when he was 16, before heading to Europe, more specifically Portugal, for the rest of his career. Direction SC Pariense in Portuguese D4, barely 19 years old. Located on the Azores archipelago, the Portuguese club misses climbing. This is not the case for Alexsandro, who for his part decided to join Amora in D3 to continue his lead.
Alexsandro is climbing the ladder one by one: after a good season in D4, he has already made it to the top floor at the dawn of the 2020-2021 season. The young defender lived up to expectations, playing more than 27 matches with his new club. In the summer of 2021, the person who left his home country to discover the high European level has already started his career at the highest level, discovering the second Portuguese league (second division) with Chavez.
His good knowledge of positioning, his formidable physique (1m 92, 88kg), and the technical quality of both feet allow him to establish himself as one of the best central defenders in the tournament: “ With a score of 92 metres, he is good at aerobics, and despite his size he is fast. Says the supporter who runs the Twitter account J.D. Chaves Frague. In fact, his large size allows him to impose himself in the air defensively … and offensively, as the giant of the back-keeper for the Reds and Blues scored three goals last season in the Spanish League. At the end of this, he was named to the standard team of the championship.
” He takes risks, he does not hesitate to go forward with the ball, he loves to break lines and above all he has been very consistent this season with us. He adds. A style of play reminiscent of what Paulo Fonseca demands of his defenders, who are able to participate fully in the revival and construction of the game. He tracks Getafe, Cadiz and Almeria in La Liga, but Alexandro Ribeiro is finally heading towards LOSC.
” He adapted quickly and became an indisputable starter very quickly. Now will he succeed in Lille as in Chavez? The question clearly arises, since Alexsandro first arrived in a country other than Lusophone. However, two of his assistants in the central hinge and his coach speak Portuguese, which may help him in his learning ” I think he has the potential to succeed at Lille as well as at Chaves. He will have better teammates who will help him. We just moved to D1 only, he didn’t taste elite and would go to a big club in Ligue 1. The level is not the same. » Adds Twitter account manager.
If Alexsandro has made a huge difference by reaching a major league out of the second tier, the Brazilian has never disappointed during his Portuguese seasons. His little-known profile in the second degree is reminiscent of those of Zeki Selleck or even Gabriel in the past. ” I can’t wait to see him play under your colors and hope he adapts quickly to his acclimatization with us! That’s actually all we want for him.
