Vasco must act during the ball market and want to reinforce the cast to give more options to the coach who arrives; see details
The expectation around Basque this ball market is big. The team is in the relegation zone and is making its worst campaign since the start of the era of points in the Brasileirão. The club has been without a coach for 19 days and is looking for options for the place left by Mauricio Barbieri. The team has accumulated negatives over the last few days, but is optimistic about a deal with Gustavo Alfarowho is free after leading Ecuador in the World Cup.
This lack of definition with the Argentine coach, who is still evaluating Vasco’s team before accepting or rejecting the offer proposed by the club, has hindered Cruzmaltino in its search for new athletes. According to the website “Globo Esporte”, the directors know the sectors that need to be reinforced, but have not yet accelerated the conversations for reinforcements due to the absence of a technician to command the Vasco squad.
Even so, according to the publication, Vasco already knows that it will have to change its mentality in the football market. This has already happened. If before the forecast was to carry out only signings to strengthen the squad and give more options to the coach, the club now understands that the players who arrive at the Gigante da Colina should be starters. That is, the club adopted the famous philosophy of “enough to play”.
The profile of these hires was also changed. In addition to being athletes who will be hired to join the starting lineup, the understanding is that these players may be a little more experienced. An example of this were the signings of Medel and also Maicon. The two defenders are over 30 years old, but they have a lot of experience to give the younger ones a little more peace of mind.
For now, Vasco should streamline conversations with its possible next reinforcements and will also seek to settle the last details with Gustavo Alfaro. This Tuesday, the 11th, for example, 777 Partners sent Nicolas Maya to help Vasco leaders in negotiations for new athletes. The executive does not usually get involved in football, but the tendency is for him to speed up these negotiation processes.
