The Vasco coach helps develop Gabriel Pec and will have ‘a good headache’ in the future


In theory, the player unveiled by Cruz-Maltino would compete directly for the place with the Argentine Luca Orellano, who arrived in the starting lineup




Gabriel Pec’s good performances at the start of the season are giving Maurício Barbieri a “quite a headache”. This is because Luca Orellano was Vasco’s dearest to sign this window and arrived with owner status. But at the moment Cruz-Maltino preaches caution with the Argentine, given that the idea is that the player has a gradual return to the grass after physical reconditioning.

At the “new” Vasco Pec is having the opportunity to work in an environment conducive to the growth of a footballer. In view of this, the attacker is putting into practice the teachings imparted by the coach, to correct the aspects considered more vulnerable, such as finalizations and decisions.

– The greatest responsibility is his, this desire to grow. He’s a guy who trains submissions on his own after training if needed. He is a guy who has shown incredible confidence. Mine is perhaps to help him in the role he holds today, to value what is good about him, to resolve some issues in which he may be more vulnerable. He’s of an excellent level,” Barbieri said praising Gabriel Pec.

Currently, Gabriel Pec is the top scorer of the season with three goals. Of the remaining players, number 11 was one of the most criticized players. Today he was one of the most applauded by the fans, who expect the athlete to play the good football that attracted attention at the time of the grassroots category.

So far the Pec has shown maturity. In addition, it corresponded to top-notch performance. In this way the player has become one of the pillars of the starting lineup, which makes life difficult for Luca Orellano. The Argentine would become an option given that, in theory, both play in the same position.

– He’s back and we have to watch the minutes. The conversation with the doctors was really interesting. The idea is to have more minutes to be an interesting option for us – scored the Vasco coach.

Vasco’s goal is not the Campeonato Carioca, but the Brasileirão and the Copa do Brasil. That said, Barbieri makes the Carioca Championship a laboratory to test the pieces and give opportunities to different players, so that they show the right values. It is the last chance for redemption.
