In the midst of a troubled phase, Vasco broke the silence about the continuity of Mauricio Barbieri and also in relation to 777 Partners
O Basque going through its worst moment of the season, and Mauricio Barbieri is on the ‘tightrope’. In addition to the coach being the target of much of the criticism, he also sees the 777 Partners emerge as a villain in the phase that Cruzmaltino is going through. The team has not won since the first round of the Brasileirão and entered the relegation zone for good. Therefore, this Tuesday, the 30th, the team decided to answer some questions through Paul Bracks.
In a press conference, the executive director admitted that Vasco is going through a bad moment, but that he will not give up Mauricio Barbieri. The coach is a priority at the club and the coach is guaranteed in office even with this bad moment that the club is going through in 2023. It is important to highlight that he still paid for Abel Braga to remain as football coordinator.
It’s a bad time for results, for the table, but we’re all ready to overcome this moment. The work is being tireless for us to pass this phase. And let’s go. I have complete confidence in Barbieri’s work“, he stated.
“It’s a bad moment of results. We don’t plan to be in that position in the table in the eighth round. There are many people who have already reached the end of the championship, but we are in the eighth round and we are going to correct routes. We understand that mistakes have happened and we will fix them internally. Everyone’s evaluation is daily. My work, Abel, Barbieri, the players… but we are the names that will take Vasco out of this situation on the table“, continued.
And the reviews for 777 Partners?
Much criticized by most Vasco fans, 777 Partners is still a priority in Vasco and without any kind of internal conflict. At least that’s what Paulo Bracks assured during his press conference this Tuesday afternoon, the 30th. He avoided electing culprits for the bad phase, took responsibility and even made a point of highlighting the investment made by the SAF during the beginning of the season from 2023.
“It’s a very easy finger-pointing moment. I won’t be the one to point it out. I’m here today to show the fans that I agree with some of the criticisms. We are here every day, we work every day, we know the reality and our work. Constructive criticism is appreciated. When I say route correction, it’s because we didn’t want to be in that situation. There are two games that should have had different results. We understand that the moment, despite being bad, is a good one to look internally and do things differently, to reap different results. This finger will not be pointed at just one person, it will be pointed at the club as a whole. Of a whole process that the club is going through, which is a new process, a new era; We have five months to return to Serie A after two years in Serie B. The beginning of an investment that has never been made in Vasco’s history“, he began to explain.
“This investment was made with the budget that was approved and given to football. Which was enough to assemble this cast that is here today. That allowed eight purchases of athletes, which are being used a lot. But eight players bought to be starters in the short and medium term at Vasco. This value served us in the assembly of this cast that is found here. I always said that we want to be competitive and have a solid year. The squad is being assembled to be competitive“, followed before completing that:
If there is no competitiveness in some games, the fault lies with the assembly of the cast and the technical commission. And this will be fixed internally. I’m not here to get away from what’s in my briefcase“, finished.
