Posted on 5 November 2021 at 10:10 pm by La Rédaction Recruited for nearly € 30m during the last summer transfer window, Gerson does not yet meet the expectations placed on him by OM and is causing some criticism. However, Jorge Desio, Jorge Sampaoli's assistant, did not fail to compliment the Brazilian midfielder. This summer, Pablo Longoria has hit the transfer market hard by signing no less than eleven players to strengthen the workforce of Jorge Sampaoli . The Argentine technician had made Gerson one of his top priorities in midfield. The OM thus offered nearly 30M € bonus included to Flamengo to secure the services of the 24-year-old Brazilian, as revealed by le10sport.com. Despite a complicated start to the season in the Olympian jersey, Gerson received enormous support from Jorge Desio , assistant to Jorge Sampaoli . 
“He is an excellent player who can play in several positions in the middle”
“We know Gerson, we saw him during our two years in Brazil (with Sampaoli), it is an excellent player who can play in several positions in the middle. He is very technical, he also performs well with Brazil. He can come back lower to make the link with the raise, also play higher. He attacks spaces well and knows how to be close to the surface ”, declared this Friday Jorge Desio , in a press conference reported by RMC Sport.
