“Not even magic helps”: ex-Flamengo’s Renato on Vasco’s season | OneFootball

What did Renato Gaúcho say after Vasco vs. Remo in the Brasileirão?

Coach Renato Gaúcho gave a press conference on Saturday (11) after the 1-1 draw between Vasco and Remo in the Brasileirão. In one of his remarks, the manager explained why he rested the team in the midweek South American competition match. In his explanation, the former Flamengo man said he made that decision with the players’ physical condition in mind.

— The moment you rest a team, do you think the coach is going to solve all the problems in three or four days? Not even a magician. Not even a magician. I’m resting the team so they don’t wear themselves out even more —, he said, before concluding:

— Imagine crossing Argentina and then having to come here to play, with Remo just waiting for us. These questions you ask are valid, but if it were like that, every coach would rest the team in one game and the team would be 100% in the next. We didn’t lose the game because of the physical side of things —, Renato Gaúcho concluded.

WHAT DID RENATO GAÚCHO DO IN VASCO’S SOUTH AMERICAN MATCH?

Before facing Remo, Vasco traveled to Argentina for their South American competition debut. In the match against Barracas Central (ARG), Renato Gaúcho did not even travel for the game and also rested several players. Because of that, questions were raised, and Conmebol even opened disciplinary proceedings against the Vasco coach over the situation.
