Barbieri evaluates the changes in Vasco’s team and indicates Capasso’s failure as a determining factor in the result of the classic


Individual errors are decisive for the defeat in the first game of the carioca semifinal




Vasco’s defeat against Flamengo was a bucket of ice water for several Vasco fans who were expecting a good result against their rival. For coach Maurício Barbieri, defender Manuel Capasso played a safe match. Decisive for the result, however, was the move in which he failed in the second Rossoneri goal.

– It turned out to be a decisive move. The idea is not that we go out and play at any risk. Capasso ended up making a bad decision. I haven’t talked to him. He felt a lot at that moment. We cannot destabilize ourselves emotionally. Capasso came back well and he performed well. But it ended up being a decisive offer for the result – considered Barbieri.

Hours before the ball rolled, Vasco’s formation surprised everyone. This was due to the fact that Maurício Barbieri brought in defensive midfielder Rodrigo and brought in Matías Galarza. The Paraguayan looked nervous and insecure. As a result, he didn’t perform well. When asked about the change, the coach explained that the idea was to have Cruz-Maltino build more from the first midfielder.

– Rodrigo has this characteristic of a lot of marking and closure. But Andrey (Santos) is someone who manages to participate and help more in the construction. That was the idea with Andrey. I didn’t think they had space in the first half. I don’t remember situations they ended up creating inside. Their first goal was a cross from the wing. The second goal was our mistake. Galarza had the function of filling with the ball and opening the game. It is a situation that does not suit Barros’ characteristics. Galarza can do it. Who can do it is Marlon, Figueiredo can do it too. Galarza arrived with better form and pace of play. It was an option for the game, like I did in the other classics – the coach scored. It is completed:

– Importantly, they are two different games. For a matter of moments, adjustments, we are looking for this game to change the placement to balance disputes more. We had defended ourselves very well and that was not the idea. The idea was that we had more ball and in the end it was crucial that they took advantage of the chances they had.

LOST CRAVAGE ADVANTAGE

– The fact that we had this chance of two draws balanced another dispute, which at first disadvantaged us, due to the sequence of the fixtures and all. We need a simple win.

CONDITIONS OF MARLON GOMES

– Marlon (Gomes) is returning from injury and is playing for a few minutes. He didn’t have the rhythm to start. I didn’t want to risk starting with Marlon, lengthening his time and making him feel it again. Galarza had trained well. They have similar characteristics. The idea was to preserve Alex (Teixeira) a little more and that he could also occupy the center. Marlon can do it too.

ARE YOU FRUSTRATED?

– Don’t frustrate. It is an important point that we conquered during the first phase. Now we depend on a simple victory. They have reversed in the sense of no longer having the two draws, but we depend on a simple victory. They have given this advantage a lot of weight and have forgotten other matters, which at the moment bring us a disadvantage, which has nothing to do with the opponent.

SECOND MATCH OF THE SEMIFINAL

– Vasco must win this match. My head is now Thursday. We have the assessment that we have to be careful with some things. The assessment we’ve made is that we could go in another way and have an edge. We need an easy win and that’s what we’re looking for.

ANDREY SANTOS

– Andrey is a young player and what will help his development are experiences like today’s. What I can contribute are the guidelines I will give. As for the positioning, the way to play, the marking and the space to occupy. At Chelsea, he could find another way to play. But a more prepared player will arrive. He comes from a grueling Serie B as it was. He now he is racing on another level.

VASCO X ABC

– It’s an important match like this one and we have to turn the key and think only about Thursday.

Next Sunday, Vasco and Flamengo will face off again in the semi-final of the Carioca Championship. But first, Cruz-Maltino plays on Thursday, for the second phase of the Copa do Brasil. The clash will be against ABC, in São Januário.
