Renato Gaúcho blasts Flamengo ‘weakness’ against Vasco: “I told them…” | OneFootball

What did Vasco manager Renato Gaúcho say after the derby against Flamengo in the Brasileirão?

Vasco managed to snatch a last-minute draw against Flamengo last Sunday (03) in the Brasileirão. After the 2-2 draw in the derby, manager Renato Gaúcho pointed out a possible weakness he noticed in the red-and-black defense, which helped Vasco level the score at the Maracanã.

— The first goal was something we worked on a lot in training. We knew that Flamengo has been conceding some goals in that area. Today, we didn’t take a short corner, we put the ball into the box exactly where Robert scored. We knew we could take advantage of it, and we did —, he said, before concluding:

— And then again from an aerial ball with Cuesta. I tell them: put the ball into the box, because anything can happen there. Cuesta put the ball into the area and Hugo came in and scored the equalizer. We’re leaving here feeling fully vindicated —, Renato Gaúcho concluded in a press conference.
