Vasco player reveals ‘new factor’ for Flamengo clash | OneFootball

Developed in Flamengo’s youth academy, Hugo Moura looked ahead to the derby for Vasco

In Vasco’s last five matches in the Brasileirão, the team won only one. However, on Thursday (30), Flamengo’s rival beat Olimpia (PAR) 3-0 in the Copa Sudamericana and got a boost ahead of the clash with Mengão this Sunday (03), in the Brasileirão. At least, that is the view of defensive midfielder Hugo Moura, from the São Januário side.

— We really needed this win to go into a derby with the right mindset. We know a derby is a game decided by details. We have to be very confident, very focused for this match. We know how big the Flamengo-Vasco derby is. Hopefully on Sunday we can play a great game and come away with the three points — said Hugo Moura.

Vasco currently sit in tenth place in the Brazilian Championship, with 16 points. In other words, the derby is crucial for Renato Gaúcho’s men to keep dreaming of something bigger in the current edition of the competition. On the other hand, Flamengo are battling Palmeiras round by round for first place.

WHEN IS FLAMENGO VS VASCO?

The match between Flamengo and Vasco, for the 14th round of the Brasileirão, kicks off at 4:00 p.m. (Brasília time) at the Maracanã. The derby will be broadcast live by Globo to a large part of Brazil on free-to-air TV. In addition, GETV (YouTube) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will also show the match.

However, the best and most rubro-negro coverage is from Coluna do Fla, on the website, on social media, and on YouTube. Our team will be at the Maracanã to bring all the information from the match, including pregame coverage, highlight videos, and post-match press conferences, with interviews with Leonardo Jardim and the players.
