Mateus Henrique Vanzelli Lusuardi (born 8 January 2004) is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a defender for Serie B club Frosinone.[1]

Early life

[edit]

Lusuardi grew up in the Gremio youth ranks in Porto Alegre, before moving to Grêmio Novorizontino and then to Criciuma EC in 2022.[2]

Club career

[edit]

Mateus Lusuardi joined the Frosinone Calcio academy in August 2023, from Criciúma,[3][4][5] a path reminding the one of brazilian-born Italy international Éder.[6]

In Italy first started playing with the Primavera team, but soon became a regular on the bench for Eusebio Di Francesco's Serie A team.[3]

Lusuardi made his professional debut for Frosinone on the 19 December 2023, starting and playing every minute of a 0–4 away Coppa Italia win against Napoli.[7][8] This was a notable victory against Kvaratskhelia and Osimhen's Serie A title holders, in which the young defender was among the standouts.[3][9][10]

He made his Italian top flight debut with the club four days later, again as a starter, against Juventus.[3]
