Barbieri admits Vasco’s bad game and attributes usury a determining factor for elimination


The coach reiterated that the team was under construction and came out in defense of Pedro Raul, who missed another penalty

Coach Maurício Barbieri acknowledged that Vasco didn’t play well against ABC, who folded the elimination of the team in the second phase of the Copa do Brasil. The coach admitted that the team had difficulties against the opposing boom, but he also recalled the wear and tear suffered in the last few games.




– I can highlight the factors that contributed to the result, which is disappointing for everyone. I won’t be able to give a simple explanation for this. We didn’t play a good game, we didn’t create chances, but also thanks to them. We were coming from decisions, different games like that. Game against Flamengo, Bangu ahead in the semifinals and Flamengo himself. This has contributed and we present a wear. We are still in the building process and need to press that key. Andrey, Capasso has played a few games, Marlon Gomes was starting just now. Our expectations were higher so we were shocked and frustrated. -said Barbieri, that he completed.

– We have been characterized by being an intense and aggressive team. It’s hard to be intense with little space. We talked about it, looking for other shots from outside the box. We needed to be able to get more players. The area was emptier than it could have been. The second balls, the rebounds, we weren’t able to get them. We could not find any solutions. The idea of ​​counting on Marlon is to have swings and dribbles, but he’s tired of it. And that’s why we put in Erick and Orellano to get the dribble, but it wasn’t enough.

Frustration also gripped fans, who organized before the match to protest against the increase in ticket prices. For this reason the stands were devoid of banners, flags and drums, changing the melting pot atmosphere of other games. Barbieri lacked the usual unconditional support from São Januário, but said this was not decisive for the negative result.

– All that we have underlined, for many times is what happens. When the fans are with us, we get stronger. I’m not attributing the result to that. It is a group that gives a lot, but nobody wants to hear it, but to see the result. It could be more comprehensive, it could be better, it could, but we need to know how to deal with it.

Elimination fell to striker Pedro Raul, who missed Vasco’s third consecutive penalty. Barbieri explained how the scouts were chosen.

– We always train penalties, we evaluate who hits better. We put others batting ahead of him in this context. Before him, he could have beaten Léo, who is a defender. We looked at the history of penalty takers and he was well placed in that, like Miranda and Nenê, who came on to take the blow. It’s time to give it strength. We are looking for the goal and this gives us a feeling of injustice. The most important thing is how we will react to it. It’s raising your head for the next game, which is also decisive.

Next Sunday Vasco faces Flamengo and for Barbieri it is necessary to turn the key quickly.

– We arrive needing the same simple result. We have to turn the key, we can’t do anything else because of what happened here. Despite the result we managed to play a balanced match. We have to turn the key and move on. Time for decisions was short and we don’t control it. We must prepare – finished.
