Emiliano Diaz reveals Vegetti's injury and requests reinforcements in Vasco: “We need more” | Vasco

Hey Vasco Flamengo tied 0-0 on Sunday evening, in a match in the sixth round of the Carioca Championship. Despite the result, Ramon Diaz's side created good chances, but left the Maracanã with one point. The assistant coach, Emiliano Diaz, was the one who conducted the interview. He revealed Vegetti's injury, appreciated his performance, and requested reinforcements for the rest of the season.

– We wanted to win. But when you can't win, you break even – summed up Emiliano.

According to the assistant, Vegetti has a crack in his rib. The striker will now deal with the problem, according to Emiliano:

– The press doesn't know everything that's happening because Ramon and I asked not to show anything. Pablo has a crack in his rib. no one knows. Now, it will stop. He makes an effort to be a leader. For his commitment to Vasco. He cannot be evaluated because he plays in 30% of the conditions. It's effortless.

The assistant called for reinforcements again. He said the cast had few options.

-We know we need to strengthen our midfield moving forward, but we believe a lot in the team we have. He did something silly last year, but we're “short.” “We have a good team, but we need more,” Ramon’s son said.

But Vasco did not come out with the win because defender Leo Pereira took two balls almost over the goal line. Furthermore, Leo Jardim saved Gabigol's penalty kick, which could have given his rival the win. The assistant praised the goalkeeper:

– He is one of our leaders. In my humble opinion, he is the best goalkeeper in Brazil. He has the mental strength. He's a great team goalkeeper. Sometimes he doesn't participate. But when the team needs him, he shows up.

In 2024, Ramon and Emiliano take turns giving press conferences. Vasco's next match will be against Audax, next Thursday, at 9:15 pm, at the Arena da Amazonia.

Maracanã stadium conditions

We (foreigners) don't believe it, because when we are there we are big fans of Brazilian football. And we always see a lot of classic players, playing this kind of Flamengo x Vasco on a grass like this, in one of the temples of football in the world… It should be a carpet, it's the Maracanã. He can't believe the field is like this because it hurts both teams. Flamengo is one of the best teams in South America, they have high quality. We have our weapons, but we have to play against the opponent and against the field. very Difficult.

– The clearest chance in the match was ours. They had the ball for a long time, but the clearest chances came from Vasco. They practically have two teams, one better than the other. We have a team under construction, and we know our limits. But we will compete with everyone, as we did last year. We did something silly and competed with all the big guys. This year will be no different. We trust this team a lot. We wanted to win, as always, but sometimes it happened.
