Grêmio defender Wallace has rapidly transitioned from a squad rotation player to a key starter following his move from CRB in June. Initially signed to provide depth, the 21-year-old has earned the trust of manager Luís Castro, securing a starting position in recent matches.
Statistical data from Sofascore indicates that Wallace holds the highest average rating among Série A center-backs during his recent period of play, maintaining a 7.8 average. His performance includes a 93% pass accuracy, 71% duel success rate, and zero serious defensive errors. He also recently scored his first goal for the club during a 2-1 comeback victory against São Paulo.
Despite being naturally right-footed, Wallace has successfully adapted to playing on the left side of the defense. His strong performances have reportedly halted Grêmio's search for more experienced defensive signings.
