Maybe Shenhua's top brass really has to regret giving up Guarin! Since joining Vasco da Gama, the Colombian back has quickly slimmed down and regained his peak form in Brazil: in the 36th round of the Bajia, Vasco da Gama faced Cruzeiro at home, and Guarin scored the only goal of the game. In less than 3 months, Guarin has made 11 appearances in the Bajia, scoring three goals in total. For a defensive back, this is not easy!

This summer, Shanghai Shenhua made adjustments to foreign aid: Sharawi and Jin Xinyu joined at a high price, while Oscar Romero and Freddie Guarin were sacked. In fact, on the issue of Guarin's whereabouts, Shenhua's top management was hesitant for a while, but after some consideration, they still chose to give up.
After leaving Shenhua, Guarin had the intention of joining Flamengo (the winner of the New Copa Libertadores), but due to the veto of manager Jesus, he had to find another owner. He then joined Brazilian coach Lusenburg (former coach of Tianjin Quanjian) and signed Vasco da Gama on a short,3-month contract.

When he first arrived in the team, Guarindo played as a substitute. At Rusenberg's request, he quickly completed the slimming and gradually returned to his best condition. In the 36th round of the Bajia, Vasco da Gama played brazilian giants Cruzeiro at home, and Guarin started and formed a three-midfielder with André and Richard. Just nine minutes into the opening, the home team broke the deadlock, Andre did the ball at the front of the box, Guarin did not make any pauses, directly from the right foot to shoot, the ball straight into the bottom left corner.
After taking the lead, Vasco da Gama continued to take the initiative, with strikers Rossi (owned by Shenzhen Kaisa) and Ribamar both scoring good opportunities but were deflected by goalkeeper Fabio. In the end, Vasco da Gama defeated Cruzeiro 1-0 and moved up to 12th in the table. If the current ranking is maintained, the Bajia powerhouse will qualify for next year's South American Cup.

After the game, coach Lucenborg once again praised Guarin's performance: "His recovery is obvious, and now he is in good shape and impressive in every way, including passing, shooting and his vision." ”
Since September, Guarin has made 11 appearances for Vasco da Gama, scoring three goals. According to Global Sports, his two agents, José Renato and Marcelo Ferreira, have discussed a contract extension with Vasco's sporting director Andrei Mazoko. Judging from the current situation: the two sides have basically reached a consensus, only some contract details are left, and further consultations are needed.
