The Brazilian striker has made a great start to his debut season for Les Verts and feels that he can help his side a lot in the current campaign
In just a few outings for Ligue 1 outfit AS Saint-Etienne, Brazilian striker Brandao has already proven that he could bring a lot of good things to Christophe Galtier’s side.
Finally, there is some good news to discuss about Brandao. Last week, the 32-year-old was acquitted in the s*x scandal in which he was accused of rape in March 2011. However, last night, the striker put all his worries behind him and scored two goals in
AS Saint-Etienne’s 4-0 thumping of Nancy Lorraine at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard.
Two goals have indeed increased the player’s confidence who feels that Les Verts can go far in the Championnat if they keep on playing the way they did against Nancy.
Many people were surprised when the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-de-Marseille-c40127 striker was signed by Galtier. However, Brandao has taken to his new surroundings very well and has integrated into the first-team in no time.
Furthermore, the experienced striker has formed a great partnership with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gabon-c2902 international, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. And Brandao says that he talks to the young striker a lot as it helps them stay focussed.
“I talk a lot with Aubameyang. He listens to me, it helps us to do good on the ground,” said Brandao before admitting that his aerial ability is his strong point which is why he was able to play so well against Nancy Lorraine. Brandao feels that his team
is in good shape and can do well this season.
“Everyone knows my aerial game is my strong point. It has allowed me to have a beautiful evening. I feel good about this group and this club.”
Indeed, ASSE would be rubbing their hands in glee at being able to secure the services of such a productive striker for free. He terrorises opposition defences and creates space on his own which is beneficial for the likes of Aubameyang and Romain Hamouma
who also scored a goal each last night.
With ASSE looking to qualify for Europe this season, Brandao’s goalscoring touch would be needed a lot.
