Cruz-Maltino’s defender doesn’t give up on criticism and his value for the coaching staff
Without a doubt, Robson was the biggest surprise in the Vasco lineup by the Vasco team in the victory against Atlético-MG. Despite the mistrust, the defender put in a solid and consistent performance and proved he deserves to be picked.
Behind Robson’s entrance there is a whole context. According to the information collected by the THROW AWAY!, the coaching staff understood that the game would be more physical and faster. These characteristics favored the defender’s choice.
Other factors that brought Robson onto the pitch for Vasco were experience and training in the non-game period. The defender has already played in the Brazilian league and knew his opponents best in the first round.
Robson also didn’t put his head down in tough times earlier in the season. The defender performed the exercises with confidence, firmness and strength. On several occasions, the player was even put in by Maurício Barbieri, but that never brought him down.
Manuel Capasso, who is the main contender for the position, has had some muscle problems. With that, missing a few workouts caused the defender to lose pace and fall behind Robson.
Vasco’s next challenge in the Brazilian championship is against Palmeiras. This will be Cruz-Maltino’s first home game this season. The trend is for the squad to be retained to face the current champion of the competition.
