William previews Vasco clash, talks refereeing and bookings 🟨 | OneFootball

Cruzeiro concluded another stage of preparation this Thursday (25) to face Vasco, next Saturday (27), at São Januário, for the 27th round of the Brazilian Championship. In an open training session to the press, fullback William gave an interview and talked about the expectations for the match, which precedes the game against Flamengo, the competition's leader.

One of the points addressed was the team's disciplinary situation. Cruzeiro enters the match with seven players on a yellow card warning: defender Fabrício Bruno, midfielders Walace, Matheus Henrique and Lucas Romero, attacking midfielder Matheus Pereira and forwards Kaio Jorge and Wanderson. Asked about the possibility of the team entering the field under pressure due to the risk of suspensions, William highlighted the importance of not getting carried away by the scenario.

The fullback also reinforced that Cruzeiro is only looking for balanced refereeing in the duel against the Rio de Janeiro team.

The match against Vasco is considered decisive for Cruzeiro, which is gathering important points in the fight for the top positions of the Brasileirão and will have, right after, a direct duel against Flamengo.

The refereeing of the match against the cross-malt team will be by Rodrigo José Pereira de Lima (PE), a referee who has already officiated two Cruzeiro matches in this Brasileirão: the victory of Raposa over Palmeiras by 2 to 1 and the 1 to 1 draw against São Paulo, at Morumbi. The VAR is in charge of Ilbert Estevam da Silva (SP).
