“Didn't like the attitude”: Pedrinho's criticism

According to information from BTB Sports, Pedrinho did not hide his dissatisfaction. The president went down to the locker room even before the end of the match and demanded a “change in attitude” and “more focus” from the team.

The conversation between the president and the players had a firm tone. The negative result, the third consecutive defeat, shook the foundations and made it clear that patience with the current performance is over. An immediate reaction is needed.

Tense atmosphere at Vasco: Focus on the Copa do Brasil?

In addition to Pedrinho, the technical staff of Fernando Diniz also criticized the group. According to NT Vascainos, a member of the staff got agitated. The criticisms were about the “attitude, mentality, and lack of ambition” of some athletes.

What increased the tension were the individual criticisms directed at specific players. The investigation suggests that part of the group is already focused on the Copa do Brasil semifinal, which is affecting their performance in the Brasileirão.
