Reported to stay only for a few weeks, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-de-Marseille-c40127 striker may have earned the right to end the season with Les Phoceens who have been impressed with how the Brazilian has fared so far since his return from Gremio
In order to digitally compensate the absences of Andre Ayew and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jordan-Ayew-c19098 due to the African Cup of Nations, Olympique de Marseille embarked on a fruitless campaign to sign a striker in January. Following their failure to sign one, the management chose
to call-back Brandao who was sent on-loan to Brazilian sides http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cruzeiro-c38870 and then Gremio.
The 31-year-old was initially brought back for just a few weeks as a backup solution. Olympique de Marseille even thought to send Brandao back to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Russia-c2991.
Yet, the striker has proven to be very useful for Didier Deschamps. Brandao has scored three goals in the last three games in all competition. Suddenly, L’Equipe and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 Football have chorused Olympique de Marseille’s reviewed stance on the striker.
Reports in the aforementioned websites claim that Les Phoceens authorities are keen on keeping the striker at the Stade Velodrome for at least until the end of the campaign before reassessing his performances.
Even if he risks having his game-time reduced considerably upon the return of Andre and Jordan Ayew, Brandao is not complaining about his fate.
It must also be noted that Brandao’s hasty return to Brazil last summer was not something he had in mind. On loan at Cruzeiro and Gremio, Brandao never really settled down and scored just four goals in 19 games. the Brazilian had a terrible time to adjust
to his native country.
Brandao is also reluctant to return to Brazil and is willing to bid his time at the Rhone club even if it involves him warming the bench for the likes of Loic Remy, Andre Ayew and Jordan Ayew.
However, Andre Ayew and Jordan Ayew are yet to return to Marseille as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ghana-c2905 have a great chance to play in the final of the AFCON 2012 which means that Brandao will have a chance to get the best out of himself before he makes way for the two Ghanaian brothers.
