Danilo Pereira in Midfield for the First Time with the Union
The Portuguese player Danilo Pereira, from Al-Ittihad, embarked on a new experience with the team by playing in the midfield against Al-Wahda in the round of 16 of the Asian Champions League for the elite.
Coach Sergio Conceição decided to rely on Pereira in the midfield position alongside Brazilian Fabinho, in an unusual tactical move since the player's joining the team.
Since his transfer to Al-Ittihad from Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2024, Pereira has participated in 66 matches, starting 65 of them as a central defender.
The last time Pereira played in the midfield was in August 2023 with Paris Saint-Germain against Toulouse, making his anticipated participation in this position a notable step in his journey with Al-Ittihad.
