Remember them? Goiás face Cruzeiro with four ex-Cruzeiro men

The duel between Goiás and Cruzeiro, valid for the Copa do Brasil, will carry a reunion atmosphere for part of Goiás’s squad. The match, scheduled for this Wednesday (22) at 7 p.m. (Brasília time) at Serra Dourada Stadium in Goiânia, will put the Minas Gerais side face to face with four players who have worn Cruzeiro’s shirt in the past.

The “familiar faces” for Cruzeiro fans are present in virtually every area of the field in the current Goiás team. See who they are:

• Ezequiel (goalkeeper): Developed in Cruzeiro’s youth academy, the young keeper dedicated five years to the club. His only first-team appearance came in March 2022, during a 2-1 defeat to Patrocinense in the Campeonato Mineiro.
• Ramon (center-back): The defender wore the Cruzeiro shirt during the 2020 and 2021 seasons. During his time in Minas Gerais, he made 73 appearances and scored five goals.
• Machado (defensive midfielder): The midfielder has a well-established history with Cruzeiro, across two spells. In total, he made 131 appearances and scored five goals, including winning the 2022 Série B title.
• Anselmo Ramon (forward): He is the player with the longest and most successful history at Cruzeiro among the four. He joined the club’s youth academy in 2007 and, after loan spells, established himself in the first team from 2011 onward. With 83 appearances and 25 goals for Cruzeiro, the experienced forward was part of the squad that won the 2013 Brasileirão title.
