Calcio Deal Review About The Squad
In order to have a calmer 2023, Cuiabá made several signings, some of them the biggest (in value) in the club’s history, such as striker Pitta and defensive midfielders Fernando Sobral and Raniele, however the team is considered one of the most fragile in Série A .
Under the command of the Portuguese Ivo Vieira, Dourado plays in the 4-2-3-1, alternating the midfielder duo a lot. Names such as Ceppelini, Denilson, Ronald, Raniele and Filipe Augusto have already played as part of a duo, but the most famous figure is the Uruguayan midfielder, who dictates the rhythm of the team.
In the Mato-Grossense Championship, and in the Green Cup, Dourado was a possession team that progressed through the offensive field with short and quick passes, however with the Brazilian Championship we should observe a team with a more defensive and reactive posture, in view of the qualities and characteristics of its cast.
In this sense, we put Cuiabá in the fight against relegation in the Brazilian Championship.
