“Show the same face as in Marseille”
Author of a very high level match against Olympique de Marseille, on the occasion of AS Monaco’s victory at the Vélodrome (1-0), the young Brazilian full-back spoke to the media, at the day before the round of 16 first leg of the Europa League against Braga.
He has already shown some great things! Scorer in Ligue 1 against Montpellier, for his third appearance with AS Monaco, Vanderson recently offered himself a double of assists in the Coupe de France against Nantes. Still author of a solid performance this Sunday against OM (success 1-0), the young Brazilian side (20 years old) has integrated perfectly into the collective of Philippe Clément. This is what he confirmed at a press conference, on the eve of the round of 16 first leg of the Europa League against Braga. Extracts.
His arrival at AS Monaco
I must say that my adaptation is going well, because I was very well received by the group. The fact that several players speak Portuguese at AS Monaco also facilitated my integration into the squad. They ask a lot of me. Little by little I am trying to develop myself and show my qualities, and the fact that there are Portuguese speakers here helps me enormously.

Its areas of progress
I’m a growing young player, and I’m working hard to get better every day. I’m here to learn, and besides, I’m lucky to be trained by a coach who brings me a lot. Then, I think I have room for improvement defensively. But I’m doing everything to improve myself in this area, and I’m sure I’ll reach the level I want.
He is a very intelligent player, who quickly remembers instructions, who is very eager to learn and who will certainly have a great career. He will probably make a few mistakes, that’s normal, but we are a club that wants to give young players the chance to grow and improve.
About Vanderson
Braga’s profile
We have thought about this Braga team and know their strengths very well. They are in a good position in the Portuguese championship and it is a club that is used to European meetings. It will certainly be a complicated match, but I think that if we show the same face as against Olympique de Marseille in Ligue 1 (1-0 success), we can achieve a good result here.
His first in the Europa League
It’s true that it’s a first for me in the competition and in Europe. This is a personal goal that I will achieve. Monaco is a great club, which always wants to win, so we obviously want to go as far as possible in this Europa League. Everything is new to me, it’s been a short time since I arrived on this continent. We will do everything and put all the ingredients to win.
