Fernando Diniz hails Vasco’s progress and Brenner’s determination | OneFootball

The coach Fernando Diniz praised the way Vasco adapted to secure a 2-0 victory over Botafogo in the classic match this Sunday at São Januário, for the Carioca. In a press conference after the match, the coach also explained what motivated him to field the strongest team despite a busy schedule of games.

“The plan was for an important game. We put the strongest team to win. It's a team that has the health to play today and against Bahia. If the matches had been decided yesterday, we would have approached it differently. For today's scenario, it was the best strategy. The most important thing was the victory. I wanted to win,” said the coach.

“I will carefully see how the players arrive tomorrow and on Tuesday to decide with care the best strategy for who will start the match. They are very accustomed to playing consecutive matches and training at a strong pace with me. The tendency is that they will be available for Wednesday,” added Diniz.

The coach also highlighted the fact that Brenner scored for the first time with Vasco. “He is a player very inclined to score. I often say he has the charisma of a goal. He’s a guy who has been scoring since the youth categories. I believe he will bring a lot of joy to the fans,” he predicted. Vasco returns to the field this Wednesday to face Bahia at São Januário at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), for the Brasileirão.
