Vasco players extended a banner at CT Moacyr Barbosa asking for the release of São Januário, which has been without Cruzmaltina fans for 71 days
The cast of Basque joined the campaign aimed at the return of fans in São Januário. The Gigante da Colina stadium has not received its fans for 71 days due to the attitude of the Public Ministry and the judiciary of Rio de Janeiro. The last time the Vasco da Gama team were present at a Cruzmaltino match was in the defeat against Goiason the 22nd of June.
The match, which was valid for the 11th round of the Brasileirão, ended with episodes of violence and clashes with police forces. The team of Basque extended a banner at CT Moacyr Barbosa that said: “Liberate San Januario”. This banner is the same as that displayed by leaders and political representatives, on Thursday, after the meeting that discussed possible measures to resolve the scenario.
“It’s almost 100 years of history, Barreira has a very strong connection with Vasco. Several people who live in Barreira work in Vasco. So I don’t see why there can’t be a game there, why this crowd that, since last year has been breaking attendance record, can’t be in their stadium, watching their players “declared the defender Leoin an interview with VascoTV.
Throughout the season, Vasco fights a long battle to leave the relegation zone and stay in Serie A. Currently, Cruzmaltino is in 18th place, with 16 points and a campaign of four wins, four draws and 12 defeats. The team’s next commitment will be on bahiaaway from home, on Sunday, 3, at 6:30 pm (Brasília time).
