This was one of the nights for the Victoria fan to forget. Only this season can you make a collection of them. But this time, it tastes even bitter with the elimination in the quarterfinals of the Northeast Cup for Confiança, which, on Tuesday, with a goal in additions and ended the red-black dream of resuming regional hegemony.

Early elimination in the most affordable knockout switching, after Vitória is a serial team A that would have at most a Serial C team until it reached a possible final. And it was precisely the confidence, 19th place in the third division, which dispatched Rubro-Black with Rafinha’s goal on 45 minutes.
In an interview after the final whistle, Matheuzinho was objective and fast, but did not hide his indignation with Vitória’s behavior.
“It’s hard to speak, but we lost to ourselves.” It’s amazing how we make a mistake in the smallest detail… We need to have the courage to play, Vitória is a giant team. With all due respect, but we lost to ourselves, ”he vented to Premiere.
The dream of Vitória is over
The red-black board traced a plan for this return to activities after the Northeast Cup as a priority. The intention was to make Vitória again protagonist in the competition, but the dream was water below.
The effectiveness, objectivity and control of the actions lacked, as confidence was dangerous with each moment that tightened the red-black. It was this combo that so annoyed Matheuzinho.
Without much time to regret, Vitória has direct confrontation in the fight against the relegation zone at 4:30 pm on Saturday (Brasília time), in Beira-Rio, against Inter. As it is eliminated from all cups, it remains to focus on the Brazilian to get out of the delicate situation.
