Coach Huy Hoang said: "At this stage, the club is facing difficulties in personnel. In particular, Olaha will continue to be absent in round 12, Ojong Mark has a long-term injury. We only have one foreign player left who can play. Therefore, Mario is a necessary addition to help the Nghe An team become stronger in the upcoming matches."

Mario was born in 1992, Spanish, before joining Song Lam Nghe An, he played in the A-League Australia, for the Newcastle Jets club. He played 14/26 matches and mainly played in the defensive midfielder position. At the end of the 2021 - 2022 season, Mario parted ways with the Newcastle Jets club to become a free agent.

The 1992-born player's preferred position is central midfielder. However, he can also play well as an attacking midfielder and a defensive midfielder.

Mario is 1m85 tall and has good basic technique. His moves are often simple, but highly effective. He can escape the opponent's pressure with a delicate touch. Having Mario in the squad will reduce the burden on Xuan Manh and Van Duc. And this is an opportunity for the two stars of Song Lam Nghe An to have more partners in both attacking and defensive situations./.
