“We arrive needing the same result. It brings a prisoner, but it involves maturity as a team to turn the key. We can’t do anything more about what happened here. I think that in the last game we played a balanced game, the idea is to balance again, give them less opportunities. Now it’s time to turn the key, this is the season. Unfortunately, we don’t control it. we have to prepare“, he stated.
And if you lose to Flamengo, the scenario will be chaotic in Vasco…
“I think there are two situations: the first involves the possibility of playing in a final. This experience helps strengthen a developing team. For Vasco to win consistently, it needs to arrive at decisions consistently. We had a natural difficulty in the first phase, we traveled with a good part of a group that is not here anymore. If we consider this circumstance, maybe we would have won the Guanabara Cup. At one point, the classification was at risk, but we classified it.
From the moment we are here, the desire is to reach the final, because that strengthens development. Going a month without playing is bad for these reasons. Now we have to play, I can’t talk about it before. The idea is to turn the key, prepare in the best way and, if we reach the final, we gain experience, two more games and the possibility of growing as a team. If it doesn’t happen, it’s not what we want, but we will have to work in the best way and strengthen as a team for the Brazilian” he explained during the press conference.
