ISL 2018/19, Kerala Blasters FC 1-1 ATK: 5 Hits and Flops

#2 Flop - Gerson Vieira

Vieira looked like a liability all over the pitch (

Gerson Vieira started as a central defensive midfielder alongside Pronay Halder in the middle of the park to shield the back four.

Throughout the game, the Brazilian played as the third centre-back to give freedom for the other midfielders and forwards to bomb forward. But, he looked like a liability all over the pitch.

Even though Slavisa Stojanovic did not do in the final third of the game, the Serbian found it too easy to run past the ATK midfielder. Halder did not have a good game too. The Indian International was struggling to with pace of Kerala midfielders.

Kerala striker Matej Poplatnik dropped deep to unsettle him who lacked lackluster from minute one. It is no doubt that the Brazilian used to operate as a centre-back, but some of his shambolic defending just does not replicate Vieira himself.
