Calcio Deal Review About The Squad

Vasco’s season so far has been disastrous, with the team being eliminated early from the Copa do Brasil and facing a complicated situation in the Brasileirão (Brazilian league). As a result, Maurício Barbieri was recently fired, and the interim coach leading the team is William Batista, the U-20 coach, who made his debut with a victory against Cuiabá, something that hadn’t happened since the first round of the Brasileirão.

Vasco’s ball distribution starts with the defensive midfielder, who joins the center-backs to form a back three. In short build-up plays and when facing pressure, the fullbacks spread wide while the defensive midfielder moves forward to support the central defensive duo. In situations with more space to attack, Léo, who is an excellent playmaker and passer, advances and joins the line above, forming a trio close to the midfield, along with Puma Rodriguez and Lucas Piton, to provide more width.

In the attacking phase, the forward Pedro Raul is the main target, as he finishes plays with his great ability as a target man. He offers strong physical presence to hold off defenders and possesses excellent decision-making, whether it’s finding a teammate attacking the box or turning towards the goal.

In this regard, we should consider the impact of the coach who will arrive at the Gigante da Colina, the changes they will propose for the team, and how the team will perform. Therefore, Calcio Deal expects Vasco to fight against relegation in the Brasileirão.
