Goalkeeper also designed the confrontation against Botafogo next Wednesday (27)
He returned to disappoint at home on Sunday (24), the result that increased the pressure on the cast and left the fans dissatisfied. After the match, goalkeeper Leo Jardim gave an interview and recognized the collective failures, noting that the team could not put into practice what had been planned for the confrontation. According to him, the first half was far below expected, and the oscillation in the performances has cost the team in the Brasileirão.
– We have oscillated a lot during the competition, during the year, and this has cost us very expensive. Unfortunately, today was a game that completely fled our control. We couldn’t put our plan that we had in the game. Our first half was well below what we expected.
Shirt 1 pointed out that the team even managed to balance the game at a certain moment, reaching the draw, but ended up succumbing to the pressure of the opponent, who explored the Vasco errors well. For Leo Jardim, the inconsistency has been Vasco’s biggest problem in the championship, compromising not only the results, but also the confidence of the team. He stressed that the group needs to face the fans naturally and respond on the field.
– We have to charge each other, we have to understand the charging of the fans too, because that is not what we are working for. Of course we are working to seek out this situation, which is very uncomfortable for us.
Asked about the loss of strength in São Januário, where the club traditionally imposes itself before the opponents, Leo Jardim denied that the pressure of the fans was a determining factor. On the contrary, the goalkeeper stressed the unconditional support of the Vascaos, who follow the stadium, even in the face of bad performances. He admitted, however, that the team has not been able to meet the expectation and must transform the energy of the stands into positive results.
“Actually, I think Saint Januario is still a big weapon from Vasco.” The fans demonstrate the strength, is always crowding, even us, as I said, oscillating in our results and our performances. The fans demonstrate her strength, always present, always running out and filling the stadium. We have sought to correspond, but some matches in things do not happen the way we want, as we expect.
The player now designed the recovery next Wednesday (27), in the confrontation against Botafogo, for the quarterfinals of the Brazilian Cup, and called for union to correct the errors.
“It’s keeping your head up, keeping working and seeking a great game.” The Brasileirão is very difficult, we need to find a regularity to get out of this situation.
