What are the changes at Vasco?

The coach hinted at the possibility of giving Tchê Tchê a chance among the starters. The midfielder had lost his spot under Fernando Diniz’s management.

The midfield is also likely to feature a trio of defensive midfielders. Barros and Hugo Moura are competing for a starting spot, while Thiago Mendes remains a starter.

Another change introduced by Renato Gaúcho is that Vasco is not expected to have a traditional playmaker. In the session held at CT Moacyr Barbosa, the coach positioned Nuno Moreira as the playmaker, orchestrating plays for David and Andrés Gómez. As a result, Brenner returned to the bench.

There’s also a new face at right-back: Paulo Henrique replaces Puma Rodríguez. Vasco is expected to take the field against Palmeiras at São Januário with: Léo Jardim; Paulo Henrique, Robert Renan, Saldívia, and Lucas Piton; Barros (Hugo Moura), Thiago Mendes, Tchê Tchê, and Nuno Moreira; David and Andrés Gómez.
