PITUCA IS THE BEST SIGNING OF THE RUEDA ERA.
WHAT HE PLAYS IS A JOKE
I DON’T REMEMBER A BAD MATCH OF HIM
I LOVE YOU DIEGO PITUCA— Alisson (16/45) (@Alissongbb) July 20, 2023
Happy to have Pituca back!!!
Santos signed a pre-contract and then made the official announcement in order to force the Japanese to an immediate release, paying a compensation much less than the fine, of course. Interesting move. Let’s see if it works out. Hoping yes.— Rariton Santos (@RaritonSantos) July 20, 2023
Pituca is an excellent player he is an incredible person one of the few who walked out the front door
