Pedro Raul shone for Vasco in the last round of the Carioca Championship, but the top scorer’s focus is on next Sunday’s match, the 5th, against Flamengo
Peter Raul shone by Basque last Monday, the 27th, and made it clear that he is focused on the derby against Flamengo, which will take place this Sunday, 6:10 pm (Brasília time), at the Maracanã stadium. The striker has been calling for responsibility in the matches, improving performance and the idea is that his new moment at the club will materialize in the confrontation against the red-black rivals.
After scoring two goals and providing an assist in Vasco’s 4-1 victory against Boavista, Pedro Raul spoke to “Cazé TV” and warned that the focus is on the game against Flamengo. The team reached a sequence of three consecutive victories, and the striker does not want to lose this evolution of the Vasco squad for the classic against the main rivals. Even if the departure is far from São Januário.
It was a perfect match (with São Januário). I was able to make my debut against Resende with two goals, today two more goals, one assist. It was an excellent match for the whole team, three wins in a row. This gives us confidence to arrive stronger and more motivated in the derby.“, he stated.
Pedro Raul had been criticized for missing too many goals, but against Boavista he was accurate. According to the striker, the charge does not come only from the fans: “It’s part of it, the number 9 is there to score. I know my importance for the team and the importance of my goals, the charge is fair. My personal pressure is also very high, I’m having a good participation in the team’s goals, but it’s possible to improve. I’m working for it“.
In addition, Pedro Raul took advantage of the moment to design the classic against Flamengo and did not hide his desire to score goals for his rivals: “It’s a separate game, classic is another type of game. We are going to prepare well this week, rest, recover and see what Professor Maurício has to go through. I know that scoring a goal in a classic leaves you marked, so I will definitely try to score a goal on Sunday“.
