Madureira accuses Vasco of having prevented the division of the flight to Manaus and says: ‘Superb attitude’

Vasco and Madureira will face each other this Thursday (23rd), at 9.30pm, at the Arena da Amazônia, in the 4th round of the Guanabara Cup. The confrontation, however, has already begun behind the scenes. The Rio suburban club released a statement saying Cruzmaltino was barred from sharing the flight to Manaus. The board called the situation “supercilious.” Furthermore, he criticized Pedrinho’s current management.

“The Madureira Esporte Clube, through this note, expresses its perplexity at the attitude of Vasco da Gama, which prevented the Madureira delegation from traveling together with its own on the same flight agreed for the two clubs towards Manaus.

Actions like these do not correspond to the historical greatness of Vasco, a club with which we have always maintained respectful and even affectionate relationships because the closeness between the clubs in the Northern Zone of Rio has always been and will always be a symbol of the victory of the classes for us popular in Rio de Janeiro.

Madureira was used to dealing with great coaches such as Antônio Soares Calçada, Eurico Miranda and Roberto Dinamite, figures who, regardless of their styles and visions, have always known how to enhance the sporting spirit and dignity within the clubs. But such a haughty attitude does nothing but diminish the Giant that Vasco still is.

Madureira Esporte Clube remains steadfast in its commitment to the values ​​of sport, respect, ethics and fair play. For us these values ​​are above any competition and are the basis of good coexistence in society, especially between brothers. We are very sorry that Vasco, under its current management, if any, appears to be in total disagreement with these principles. The ship is adrift. May Vasco rediscover his path and his greatness, making his immense fans happy again.”
