Força Jovem on Vegetti’s exit: “We can’t understand” | OneFootball

Speculation about the departure of Pablo Vegetti from Vasco da Gama sparked an immediate reaction from the stands. The Força Jovem do Vasco (FJV), the club’s main organized supporters’ group, went public through an official statement to firmly oppose the transfer of the center forward. In the statement, the supporters expressed their outrage at the board’s stance in considering the release of a player they deem fundamental.

The defense of Vegetti

The statement released by the supporters’ group is clear in listing the reasons why the “Pirate” is untouchable. FJV highlights that they cannot understand why the club would release a player who “for three consecutive seasons has been among the top scorers in Brazilian football.”

Beyond the goals, the note emphasizes the leadership role of the number 99, describing him as a “technical and emotional reference” and a “key piece for the 2026 season.” The supporters recall that Vegetti takes responsibility and decides matches, even when starting on the bench, showing commitment to the shirt.

Criticism of the squad and condition for departure

The statement also served to take a jab at other players in the squad. Força Jovem pointed out that there are players on the team who “should take on responsibilities compatible with the exorbitant salaries they receive and deliver nothing in return,” emphasizing that Vegetti does not fit this “dead weight” profile.

Finally, the supporters left a direct message to Pedrinho’s management:

If the player does not want to leave, FJV demands that he not be transferred, warning the club not to repeat the same mistakes of the past with the Brasileirão already “knocking at the door.”
