Goal scoring central defender
Hugo is one of those instances where blockers interact with opposing nets. In total In his life, the Brazil won 28 goals, 9 with Trabzonspor. His performance with Palmeiras in 2016, when he finished as the top scorer among defenders in the Brazilian league, proves the point.

It all started when Paiva decided to replace Hugo in the match against Guayaba. The Brazilian stopper reportedly asked for an explanation in the locker room, in front of the entire team, which brought a reaction from his coach, who did not listen to him but “cut” him from the next two trips.
At the same time, the Brazilians wrote about the strong interest of Trabzonspor and the possibility of the Brazilian returning to Turkey, however the case did not progress and Hugo continued in Bahia with a contract until the summer of 2026.
