Rayan replacements at Vasco struggle to settle as Brenner and Marino Hinestroza face fan pressure | OneFootball

Losing academy star Rayan has left Vasco’s attack short, and big-money signings Brenner and Marino Hinestroza are yet to convince at São Januário amid growing unrest in the stands.

The duo cost more than R$ 60 million. ge reports that the board had intended to sign both and keep Rayan for at least six more months, easing the blow after top scorer Vegetti’s exit. Rayan asked to leave, Bournemouth’s offer was accepted, and he is now shining in England, included in Carlo Ancelotti’s preliminary Brazil list.

Expectations for instant impact met an early snag, fitness. The squad had barely paused after reaching the Copa do Brasil final, while Brenner and Marino arrived off full off-season breaks, with the campaign already under way and the Campeonato Brasileiro about to start.

Brenner’s start has been the most turbulent. He debuted against Madureira in the Campeonato Carioca, then was booed in his second outing against Chapecoense, with jeers returning versus Bahia and Volta Redonda. The flashpoint came in the clássico with Fluminense, when he missed the penalty that might have sealed Vasco’s place in the state final.

Marino Hinestroza’s issue has been minutes. The Colombian winger has not started a match, featuring only off the bench and failing to make a telling impression. During the same audition spell, Nuno Moreira lost his starting berth, but David and Adson claimed the roles, leaving Marino at the back of the queue.
