In the last match, Kardec contributed with an assist, demonstrating that his vision of the game is vital for Juventude's attacks. The coach was impressed by his ability to guide younger players during training, ensuring the club's tradition of excellence continues. He said: "Alan has a vision that few possess; it's a pleasure to have him in the squad."

His understanding of the game, combined with his experience on big stages, allows Juventude to face stronger opponents with confidence. Kardec's impact goes beyond statistics; his presence is felt in every corner of Estádio Alfredo Jaconi, where fans applaud him with every touch of the ball.

To move forward, Juventude needs players like Kardec, who are willing to work hard and lead by example. His role will be crucial in upcoming matches and may well determine the team's success this season.
