Tchê Tchê on Vasco's confidence after Renato Gaúcho's arrival | OneFootball

The sense that spirits have been renewed is clear at Vasco since Renato Gaúcho arrived. One of the players who has gained more space since the coach’s arrival, midfielder Tchê Tchê spoke about his current moment at the club.

“I’m happy. I worked very hard to reach this moment and I feel prepared. I waited a long time for the opportunity, but I was getting ready every day in training. I didn’t expect it right away, in Renato’s first match, to be among the starting 11. I want to keep giving my all in the Vasco shirt,” the player told Itatiaia radio.

The player also spoke about the coincidence of having won titles at many of the clubs he has played for, such as São Paulo, Palmeiras, Atlético-MG, and Botafogo.

“There’s that mystique! I have to hold on to the good things… At Botafogo, we came close and, the following year, won (the Libertadores and the Brasileirão). Here, it was already a big step. Now, we have to keep up this consistency,” he said.

The No. 3 also highlighted the way Renato Gaúcho changed the squad’s mood after arriving at Vasco.

“He came in giving confidence, believing in the group’s potential. He says we have to train hard to play hard. Mentally, he brought something that changed things a lot. At the beginning, he had a very frank conversation and told us to keep our feet on the ground. That’s what we’re putting into practice. We’re competing more. We know how to suffer when we need to,” Tchê Tchê said.

“He has more of a fatherly style. Since he played football, he knows that sometimes a player needs affection. At the same time, we can’t get comfortable,” the midfielder concluded.

Vasco return to the pitch to face Coritiba this Wednesday at Couto Pereira at 8:30 p.m. (Brasília time), in the ninth round of the Brasileirão.
