Why Vasco’s form has dipped: the reasons behind their slump | OneFootball

Vasco is experiencing significant fluctuations in the Brasileirão, and information obtained by NTVascanos points to a possible internal point of tension: the workload during training sessions.

According to the page’s investigation, part of the squad believes that the training sessions have been excessively intense, both in terms of physical load and the duration of activities. In the view of these players, the accumulated fatigue is directly impacting performance in matches, contributing to the team’s recent drop in form.

Despite the concern, there is no indication of a split within the group. The internal atmosphere is one of unity, but there is a specific disagreement between players and the coaching staff regarding how the training sessions have been conducted.

The topic has been discussed internally and, for now, does not create a crisis — but it does raise a warning sign at a delicate moment in the season.
