Excited, Leo reveals he played badly in Vasco’s defeat: ‘I wanted to win the game’

Léo, who felt pain in his right thigh in the 22nd minute of the first half, revealed he had asked to stay and help the team

Vasco is still in the relegation zone in the Brazilian league. The team lost to Cruzeiro 1-0, with the gates closed at the Estádio São Januário. Coming off the pitch, defender Léo, who felt pain in the first half, revealed that he had asked to stay and help the team.

– I feel the rear. I didn’t want to let my teammates down in this difficult moment. It was in the sacrifice, tomorrow I’ll see what it was, if it was serious or not. I wanted to win the game, it’s difficult, this moment is not easy. All I wanted today was to help in some way, I absolutely didn’t want to leave the game. I said I wanted to stay in the game and they respected my opinion and I stayed until the end. We have to raise our heads and move forward.

William Batista is the one who leads the team on an interim basis. Asked if the lack of definition is bothering the team, Léo underlined that the coach tries to help the team.

– William is helping a lot, when we needed him he was there. Now we have 15 days to see what will happen. Wait if a coach will come. Sorry, but what we are experiencing is a difficult moment and perhaps words are lacking. But what I wanted today was to help somehow, even with back pain,” he said.

Vasco has two weeks to realign itself. The team will only play again in the 16th round of the Brazilian championship, which should take place on July 22 or 23, against Athletico-PR, also in Rio de Janeiro.
