Léo Jardim reflects on Vasco’s home draw in the Carioca | OneFootball

The Vasco team played with reserves this Sunday and only drew with Nova Iguaçu at São Januário, losing their 100% success rate in the Campeonato Carioca. Goalkeeper Léo Jardim, the only starter to begin the match, evaluated the game.

“We tried to win the game. We knew we had the team for it. In the first half, we were more restrained, hesitant to seek something more. In the second half, it improved, and we managed to create good chances. It's a process, the second game of the year. We always aim for victory,” he stated.

Focus on the classic

Léo Jardim also looked ahead to the next match against rivals Flamengo. “We will work on what we can in these days and listen to Professor Diniz to seek victory. Regardless of the team on the field, we know Flamengo will pose a challenge,” he said.

The classic will be this Wednesday at Maracanã. Flamengo remains secretive about using their main squad players in the match, as they need a good result to avoid complications in the State Championship standings.
