Regarding the decision to recruit two foreign players for the upcoming season, coach Nguyễn Đức Thắng stated: "I am very impressed with Nata's creative playing style. This is a preparation for Thể Công Viettel as Hoàng Đức has decided not to stay.
Amarildo is the same. We have thoroughly checked and analyzed him before signing the contract. I believe that the task of selecting and utilizing foreign players will play a crucial role for all teams in the upcoming season".
Both new players of Thể Công Viettel are from Brazil. Wesley Nata is 1m83 tall, specializing in the central midfielder position. Nata has previously worn the Riga FC jersey to participate in the qualifying rounds of the three most prestigious European cup tournaments: UEFA Europa Conference League, UEFA Europa League, and UEFA Champions League.
The new player born in 1995 has previously worn jerseys for teams in the Brazilian national championship (Serie A) and Serie B such as Chapecoense, Atletico Goianiense, Bahia, and Juventude. Before joining Thể Công Viettel, Nata played football in Europe for 5 years and regularly played for Tsarsko Selo in the Bulgarian national championship, Rodina Moscow in Russia, and Riga FC in Latvia.
Nata's aggressive playing style, ability to move across the field, and skill in playing with both feet are expected to bring new life to the team's midfield.
"Currently, the weather in Vietnam is very hot, but I can adapt to this because I was born in Brazil. I am confident that I can play well even in this weather.
I am a model player who plays for the team, always making the best decisions for the team on the field. My strength is my ability to pass the ball and shoot from a distance", Nata shared.
In the meantime, Amarildo has a height of 1m83, expected to increase the team's attacking power. The Brazilian-born player was born in 1999 and has 5 years of experience in Serie B in Brazil while wearing the jerseys of Tombense, Resende, and Ypiranga.
Amarildo is a right-footed midfielder but has many occasions to score goals with his left foot.
Amarildo shared: "I am a model player who likes to control the ball, strong and fast. I want to score, create or do anything that can help the team. I am very eager to help Thể Công Viettel achieve their goals in the new season".
