Vasco is going through its most critical moment of the season. For the first time in the Brazilian Championship, the team is suffering from a sequence of four consecutive defeats. The poor performance has raised the temperature at São Januário and placed coach Fernando Diniz at the center of external criticism.
The numbers of the bad phase are alarming. In the last four games, the Cruz-Maltino conceded ten goals and scored only one. The defensive fragility and lack of creativity were evident in the defeats to São Paulo (0x2), Botafogo (0x3), Juventude (1×3), and Grêmio (0x2).
The sequence of negative results made the team plummet in the standings. Vasco stalled at 42 points and fell to 12th place. The alarm is on, as the comfort zone has drastically decreased in the final stretch of the competition.
Despite the chaotic scenario and growing pressure from fans and the press, the internal stance is to maintain. According to recent information, Fernando Diniz still has the support of the management to continue his work and attempt a recovery.
The atmosphere of concern, however, is undeniable. With each round without scoring, external pressure increases. The club understands that it needs an immediate response in the next game to prevent the crisis from becoming irreversible.
