The coach spoke to the press after losing 3-1 to the red-black rival, and tried to find ways to calm the fans. Including, one of the ways he found was the comparison with the recent results of the club in the state.
“At the beginning of the season, I said that Vasco would come out behind all rivals. If you look at the standings, we finished third. We took steps forward. I understand the fans’ frustration. I think this has to do with the fact that we played good games against great opponents and created an expectation that we could go further.“, said Vasco’s coach about the moment the team is going through.
