Vasco step up training as they gear up to face Flamengo | OneFootball

This Wednesday, at CT Moacyr Barbosa, Vasco da Gama continued their preparations to face Flamengo in the 24th round of the Campeonato Brasileiro. The match kicks off this Sunday (21st) at 5:30 PM (Brasília time) at Maracanã.

It was the second day of training for the Cruzmaltino after conceding a 2-2 draw to Ceará in the previous round of the national competition. During the session, under the guidance of coach Fernando Diniz, the Rio club focused on technical drills.

In images shared on Vasco’s social media, the players had a special training session focused on heading and passing. After some technical exercises, Wednesday’s activities concluded with a scrimmage on a reduced-size field.

The Gigante da Colina still has three more days of training before the clash against the Rubro-Negro. Lucas Piton and Tchê Tchê, who are recovering from injury, will miss the match. Meanwhile, Thiago Mendes, who is in transition and training with the rest of the squad, may be available to Fernando Diniz’s coaching staff.

Vasco’s Situation

The Cruzmaltino remains alive in two competitions. Last week, the team eliminated Botafogo on penalties and advanced to the semifinals of the Copa do Brasil, where they will face Fluminense next.

In the Brasileirão, the situation is delicate. Vasco sits in 15th place with 23 points—just one ahead of Vitória, the first team in the relegation zone.
