Denpasar Sound – Ahead of the clash with Persib Bandung, PSIS Semarang was even more horrified. PSIS Semarang added to the front line by officially signing a foreign player, Victor Guilherme Dos Santos Carvalho, for the right wing, although he can play on the left wing or as an attacker.
Vitinho, nicknamed Victor Guilherme, will be a deadly duet with Carlos Fortes. Moreover, both of them have played together at their old club, Vilafraquense, a Portuguese League 2 club.
The presence of Victor Guilherme Dos Santos Carvalho was also the last player to join PSIS Semarang to fill the rations for foreign players.
Previously, PSIS Semarang already had several foreign players. Namely Carlos Fortes, Taisei Marukawa, and Ryo Fujii.

“Today we are announcing the last foreign player slot for PSIS this season, namely Vitinho,” explained PSIS Semarang boss, Yoyok Sukawi, quoted from the psis.co.id page, Sunday (29/12/2023).
PSIS Semarang CEO, Yoyok Sukawi said, Vitinho had passed various tests. These include medical, physical, and leg ability tests. Of these three tests, Vitinho deserved.
Vitinho signed a contract with PSIS Semarang management for the second round of League 1 2022/2023.
Yoyok Sukawi hopes that Vitinho can add power to the front row of PSIS Semarang.
“Hopefully it can add to the power of pounding PSIS in the remainder of League 1,” said Yoyok Sukawi.

Even though it is occupied by several foreign players in the front row, PSIS Semarang is still understaffed in League 1.
In the 19 matches that have been played in the 2022/2023 League 1, PSIS Semarang is in the middle of the standings, which is ranked 8th with 26 points.
PSIS Semarang front row is also still slack. PSIS Semarang was only able to score 21 goals and conceded 23 goals.
The deadly duo of Carlos Fortes and Vitinho is also highly anticipated, especially since the two of them have played together at Vilafraquense in the 2020/2021 season.
Before being signed by PSIS Semarang, this 1.74 meter tall player last played for a division 2 club in Portugal, Vitoria Setubal.
The player who was born on May 10, 1993 has had many careers in Brazil, Poland and Portugal.
