"He's a scoundrel": Vasco title-winner slams Eurico's son, reveals sabotage

Vasco saw a 2011 champion open up about the club’s behind-the-scenes. Former striker Éder Luís, in an interview with the channel Colina em Foco, praised the current management of Pedrinho and Felipe, but made extremely serious accusations against Euriquinho, son of Eurico Miranda.

“Pedrinho and Felipe are very honest”

Currently living as a farmer in Uberlândia, Éder Luís said he doesn’t return to football because he “can’t tolerate wrongdoing.” He praised the duo currently leading Vasco.

“Pedrinho and Felipe are very honest, former players who don’t need to steal from the club,” he stated.

The former player pointed out, however, that the duo’s passion runs up against reality:

“Vasco’s problem is financial. The financial situation gets in the way of many decisions, like bringing in players the club deserves.”

“He wanted to harm Vasco”

The tone of the interview changed when talking about Euriquinho. He, who praised the attitude of Eurico Miranda (the father), slammed the son’s behavior during his second stint, starting in 2015:

“My biggest disappointment was with his son. Euriquinho is a scoundrel. He didn’t get me out of Vasco because the fans liked me. Zé Ricardo said: ‘You deserve it for everything you did for Vasco, but people don’t value you.’ To do what Euriquinho did to me, wanting me to go along with what he was doing wrong. He wanted to harm the club to benefit himself and did everything to humiliate me.”

And he added:

“It was the saddest moment I had, because he forbade the coach from taking me to games. I always honored the shirt and today it’s the team I support. But I don’t wish what he did to me on anyone. It’s something that hurts me to this day, because I didn’t want to leave that way. When I came back from my knee injury, the doctors said I wouldn’t even be able to run. I did physical therapy until one in the morning, with my wife sleeping. What he did was inhumane. He wanted to be his father, something he’ll never achieve. I don’t stay in football because I won’t tolerate wrongdoing.”

Éder Luís also accused the former director of sabotage:

“I would arrive at the club and no one would look at me, I looked like a beggar. Only Márcio, the physiotherapist, paid attention to me. And when I recovered, they wanted to do interviews. They wanted to gain status off of me. I didn’t go anymore, maybe because I didn’t suck up to anyone. I just wanted to do what’s right.”

Today, Éder Luís leads a peaceful life as a farmer in Uberlândia. Besides Vasco, he also played for Atlético-MG, São Paulo, Benfica, Al Nassr, RB Brasil, Ceará, São Bento, and Guarani.

For the Gigante da Colina, he scored 29 goals in 207 matches and won two titles. In addition to the 2011 Copa do Brasil, the former striker was undefeated champion of the Carioca Championship in 2016.
