Highlight of Volta Redonda tries to overcome distrust because of the height in the game against Vasco

Pedrinho had some difficulties finding a club at the time of the youth divisions. After being released by São Paulo, where he stayed for three years, he failed tests he took. Heard it was too small. On the second attempt at Ponte Preta, he was accepted. But always having to deal with a certain distrust because of his height: 1.67m.

This Monday, it’s Volta Redonda’s weapon against Vasco. At the age of 20, he arrives at the match in Cariacica with morale: in the 5-1 defeat of Resende, he scored two goals and gave passes to two others.

Arriving at Volta Redonda is a fresh start after trying his luck in football in Cyprus and not having worked out. Competing for the Carioca Championship gives hope of projection.

– This is a chance to better show my work, which I’ve been doing since the first match. Last year, I went to Cyprus, I didn’t have opportunities there. I came back after five months. And at the end of last year I came to Volta Redonda. I have faith that things will work out even more,” he said.

Born in Barra de Santo Antônio from Alagoas, he left his hometown at the age of 11. He even failed at Desportivo Brasil because of his height. At Carioca, he tries to show that size doesn’t matter.
