فوت هوستازي.com It brings you closer to Bruno Savio, the new Al-Ahly striker.

Bruno Savio looked promising in Brazil after he scored 9 goals for America Mineiro in the Junior Championships in 2014.

The following year he got the chance to play for the first team under coach Givanildo Oliveira.

Savio did not repeat what he did in the youth and youth ranks, scoring 4 goals in 50 matches and contributing to the team’s rise to the Brazilian League in 2015.

After that, Savio spent several loans from America Mineiro between Mirasol, Bragantino and Cuiaba, for the latter was decisive and contributed to the qualification of the team from the third division to the second in Brazil.

In 2018, he scored in the second leg of the quarter-final against Atlético AC in a match that ended in a 2-2 draw and his team qualified, in total, he scored 4 goals and made 7 in 29 matches in his experience with Cuiaba.

He returned to Mineiro again, but went out to two professional experiences in Portugal and then Croatia through NK Astra.

His experience with Astra lasted only 6 months and saw him participate in only 5 matches without any scoring contribution.

What made his experience more difficult was that he joined the ranks of a team competing to escape relegation, and escaped by staying after a playoff match.

Savio returned to Brazil from the two gates of Avai in the first division, and there he trained under Alberto Valentim, who had previously coached Pyramids at the beginning of his reign in the Egyptian League.

A new difficult experience that Bruno experienced, as he joined the team with a coach who had just taken over the team, and he did not achieve any victory in the first 10 rounds of the competition and is at the bottom of the standings.

The season ended and Bruno participated in 5 matches in the Brazilian league with Avai without scoring or making 4 of them under the leadership of Valentim, and the team was relegated to the second division after achieving only two victories throughout the 2019 season.

Bruno is loaned again, but to Brazilian club Guarani in the second division of the 2020 season.

In his first season with Jourani, he played 23 matches from 28 starters and scored a goal at an average of 585 minutes from an average of 1.5 shots per game against the opponent.

He touched the ball 30 times per game, sent 0.8 key passes to his teammates in the match, and his passing accuracy reached 71%, and completed 0.9 successful dribbling with an accuracy of 59%.

He also won 3.2 fights with opponents, whether on the ground or in the air, with a success rate of 39%.

In his second season, things improved a lot.

In 32 matches, he scored 11 goals and made 5, and his team, two rounds before the end, was very close to qualifying for the Brazilian League, but Bruno’s injury and the loss from Afay, the direct competitor at the time, made the team lose the qualification card with the adults for the current season.

In July 2021, the Brazilian network “Globosporte” highlighted the player after he scored a brace against Cruzeiro in a match that ended in a 3-3 draw.

Where the player indicated that he saw his wife suffer a miscarriage, with the death of one of his relatives, and this also coincided with the death of his cousin due to the Corona virus before the derby meeting against Ponte Berta.

After the meeting, Savio said: “I dedicate the goals to two of my cousins ​​who passed away from the Corona virus a week ago. It was a very difficult time in my life. I want to dedicate the goal to them.”

The report indicated that the two goals against Cruzeiro were a reward for Savio for what he went through in that period.

Savio participated in 32 first matches with Guarani in the league in 2021 and scored a goal for every 236 minutes he played out of 2.2 shots against the opponent.

He touched the ball 41 times per game, sent 1.5 key passes to his teammates in the match, and his passing accuracy reached 74%, and completed 1.3 successful dribbling with an accuracy of 48%.

He also won 4.6 fights with opponents, whether on the ground or in the air, with a success rate of 39%.

Savio finished the season and is the fifth scorer of the Brazilian second division, and the top scorer of his team in the competition with 11 goals, including 3 from penalty kicks.

After the end of his career with the Brazilian team, Savio attributed the development to the number of minutes he played on the field, saying: “I’m the same person and the same player, but with playing time and confidence things changed because of that. Football is a chain from the moment you play all the time, you begin to evolve“.

And he added,With Guarani’s time at the start of Paulista, I didn’t have many chances to start. In the second division, I was able to enjoy a good pace and was able to score goals and provide assistance“.

Savio joined Bolivian Bolivar on a free transfer at the start of 2022.

The Bolivian team, known as “Heavenly”, is the most crowned club in the country and one of the best at the level of continental participation. It also signed a partnership with the “City Group” company at the beginning of 2021 to become one of their clubs.

Savio talked about his move to a new experience, saying: “When the second division ended, I did not have an agreement to continue with Guarani, and this possibility arrived, which developed over time because I had a conversation with Antonio Zago (coach) and he gave me a lot of confidence in the club’s project.”

“It’s a very big club, it’s the biggest in Bolivia, it has a lot of fans, it has a lot of history, it is the biggest Bolivian champion and it has a very good structure. And we ended up reaching an agreement.”

And he added, “I was very happy to come here. When I arrived, I was surprised by the infrastructure of the club. The club is building a huge training center and has many fans. In addition, I found a group of outstanding players, who are the foundation of the Bolivian national team. For me, it was great to meet and benefit. of this new opportunity.

In his first official match in the Bolivian League, Bolivar swept his opponent Blooming 7-0, and Savio scored 3 goals.

3 days later, in the first preliminary round of the Copa Libertadores, he scored a goal in the victory over Deportivo Lara, Venezuela, 3-2 away from the ground.

He participated as a substitute in the league, then a week later he scored a goal and made another against his Venezuelan opponent in a 4-0 win, captaining the team to qualify for the second round of the continental competition.

A perfect start for Bruno, who declared at the time: “Today I started the season very well, thank God. She played three matches initially and came on as a substitute in a match in the second half. I scored 5 goals and made a goal. In my first game I scored for the first time a triple. I am happy and feel good in the team. I think 2022 will be a good year, we have everything to have a great time“.

Bruno adapted quickly to the atmosphere in Bolivia. The representative of the capital, La Paz, plays at an altitude of 3,640 meters above sea level in the Hernando Seles Stadium, which has a capacity of 42,000 spectators, which is a constant difficulty for opponents.

On adapting to the atmosphere, Savio previously noted: “I had some time to train at a height before I started playing. Things went well. I think with time I always tend to improve. But the people who come to play here feel a lot higher. At first it was Really difficult, but thank God I adapted well.”

The presence of the Brazilian Zago, in addition to his compatriots Francisco “Checo” and Cesar, contributed to Savio’s adaptation quickly, in addition to the Argentine Pato Rodriguez, who knows the Portuguese language well – he is the one who lifted Bruno’s shirt after the end of the player’s career with the team.

Before winning the Bolivian League Apertura stage title for the 30th time in the club’s history, Savio said:At Bolivar I try to score a lot of goals, but the main goal is the team’s success. Bolivar hasn’t been a champion here for two years and we want to go back to the group stage in the Copa Libertadores, so those are my goals.“.

He continued, “The goals and assists are the result of good teamwork and I think we are doing that. I have everything to score a lot of goals this season and, God willing, I will do it to help my team.”

The team booked a seat in the Copa Libertadores 2023 in the group stage directly, being the first-leg champion in Bolivia.

Savio excelled in the Clausura stage more, as he scored 7 goals in only 10 matches against the same balance in 17 matches in the Apertora stage.

In total, he scored 16 goals and assisted 4 in only 31 games with Bolivar, which shows an improvement in the scoring level after he scored 15 goals and assisted 11 with Guarani during two seasons in 78 games.

16 goals made Savio the fifth-best Brazilian scorer in the history of the Bolivian League since 1977, 8 goals behind the lead.

According to the “la-razon” website, “The player’s contract has a clause allowing him to renew with Bolivar For an additional two years if an agreement is reached before December 31“.

The site indicated to the player’s statements, “I see myself playing in the Libertadores, but I have a clause in the contract, my contract is until the end of the year (2022) and to extend it for two years, we must talk.”

His coach Antonio Zago also stressed: “Bruno is an important player, we’ve talked about this for a long time, so it’s up to the club to implement the option to buy or not, but I think the organization has to make that effort so that Bruno stays here.”

Which explains why Marcelo Clore, president of the Bolivian club, went out to announce the value of the deal and to defend the departure of the team’s top scorer in front of his fans. (see here)

What caused him to miss the Blooming and Unverstraio de Vento matches, especially the last one, which was known to honor the player from his colleagues and fans after announcing his move to Al-Ahly.

The site “la-razon” explained in a report after the player’s departure.Bruno Savio will leave a void in Bolivar’s offensive line. The abandonment of one of the best attacking elements not only broke the hearts of the sky-blue fans, but also shattered coach Zago’s scheme because the Brazilian was the best companion of Francisco da Costa.“.

A completely new experience for Savio, and this time not in Croatia or Bolivia, but in Egypt with Al-Ahly, how will the player adapt to the atmosphere and what will he offer? That’s what Bruno Savio can answer on his own.
