This Saturday, Vasco will have a new challenge at São Januário: they face Volta Redonda in a decisive clash for the state tournament quarterfinals. Coach Fernando Diniz hopes that the home advantage continues to yield positive results in the Campeonato Carioca.

“I think this is Vasco’s home. The team has to know how to play here. I really like coming here to play. I like the atmosphere. Even with the fans booing me. This is Vasco’s home. We have to learn to play here more and more and win games here,” he commented after the match against Vasco.

The pressure on Diniz increased after setbacks in the Brasileirão. With a draw and a loss, the Rio team currently sits in the relegation zone of the national competition.
