Vasco is preparing to face Fluminense this Saturday at the Maracanã. The Cruzmaltinos have turned on the alarm signal after the bad performance and the defeat against Bahia, in the last round of the Brazilian championship.
Also, Vasco da Gama will face a full opponent for the season. But midfielder Jair stressed the squad is prepared and cited the balance in Série A.
“I feel comfortable, I have faced Fluminense on several occasions. Of course, in the last match they are putting in a great performance, but they also lost against Fortaleza. Atlético-MG in Minas. Many journalists can say that Fluminense is the favorite in this classic. We respect their team, but we go confidently to the classic and we will do everything to be victorious,” he said.
The two teams have already faced each other once this season. On this occasion Fluminense beat Vasco, with a brace from Cano. However, Jair recalled that Cruzmaltinos had a strong performance in the classic.
“We played a good match in Carioca against Fluminense, but what matters is the result. And many of you in the press only talk about the result and don’t look at whether we play well or badly. The important thing is to design a strategy to make a great match. It was a match in which we did very well. We had several chances to score. Cano was very good and happy with the chances he had. We didn’t take advantage of the chances we had. It’s important to take advantage of the next match to go out with a positive result,” he said.
Both Vasco and Fluminense lost in the last round. Both therefore need victory to stay close to the Brazilian leaders.
