Alex Teixeira and Pedro Raul become a target at Vasco, and the interim says: “You have to…”

Alex Teixeira It is Peter Raul became targets of the Basque after defeat to Botafogo at the Brasileirão. The two forwards are not going through a great phase of the season and had a below average performance in the confrontation last Sunday, 2nd, at the Nilton Santos stadium. In a press conference, the interim William Baptist came out in defense of his two scorers and avoided criticism.

Pedro Raul, for example, saw the Basque commander point out some important points in the center forward’s performance during the 2-0 defeat to Botafogo. According to William Batista, the athlete contributed to the improvement in the aerial dispute and emphasized that the player’s performance in the defensive part was important for Vasco not to suffer so much with Botafogo’s main characteristic.

You have to analyze what it is to go wrong. Pedro Raul made good gains in the first and second ball, increasing our team’s stature in set pieces, which is the opponent’s strong point“, he stated.

In addition to talking about Pedro Raul, Vasco’s interim also came out in defense of Alex Teixeira. The attacker had the chance to tie the game, but missed the opportunity when he kicked over Lucas Perri. William Batista broke his silence regarding the scorer’s mistake and warned that this type of mistake happens in football. In addition, the coach sought to give a little more confidence to the experienced athlete.

“Players are always subject to hit and miss. It’s for both teams, when the goalkeeper catches it, the striker misses it, when the goal comes out, someone misses it. It is always at the discretion of the moment of the bid. In the end, he missed and the goalkeeper saved. That’s not what Alex’s conduct is about, he’s a guy who works a lot. If he works hard on a daily basis, he wants the best in Vasco. It is the goalkeeper’s merit in the play, his if he scored the goal, and the goalkeeper’s demerit if he left“, he completed.
