On this Thursday, at CT Moacyr Barbosa, Vasco da Gama made progress in their preparation to face Flamengo, for the 24th round of the Brazilian Championship. The ball rolls this Sunday (21), at 5:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã.
It was the third day of training for the Cruzmaltino after conceding a 2-2 draw to Ceará, in the previous round of the national competition. In the activity, under the command of coach Fernando Diniz, the Rio club carried out a technical work, involving finishes.
The Giant of the Hill still has two more days of training for the duel against the Rubro-Negro. Lucas Piton and Tchê Tchê, who are recovering from injury, are out for the clash. Meanwhile, Thiago Mendes, in transition and training with the rest of the team, may be available to coach Fernando Diniz's technical committee.
The Cruzmaltino is still alive in two competitions. The team, on penalties, eliminated Botafogo last week and advanced to the semifinal of the Copa do Brasil, with Fluminense as the next opponent.
In the Brasileirão, the situation is delicate. Vasco appears in 15th position, with 23 points - just one more than Vitória, the first team within the relegation zone.
