Without that spirit of revenge...
" One of the things we have talked about a lot is not choosing our opponents and trying to have the same behavior and commitment with each one. Of course, we study in detail each player we are going to face and we have all the respect for the work that Vegetti has been doing, which is admirable, " he said, before concluding:
" We certainly need to be very careful, approach the game with a lot of responsibility and respect, because it is a classic, something that is part of the culture of Rio de Janeiro and Brazil. We hope to do our job and win, but without this spirit of revenge ," concluded Danilo, during an interview in the mixed zone.
It is worth remembering that Vasco was defeated by Flamengo in the first clash between the teams in Carioca, by 2-0. Thus, after the confirmation that the teams would face each other again in the semi-final of the competition, Vegetti promised revenge, something that did not happen, as Rubro-Negro won both matches.
Now, with Danilo at his disposal, Filipe Luís begins preparing the red-black team for next Saturday's classic (19) . The game will be at 6:30 pm, at Maracanã, valid for the fifth round of the Brasileirão. The red-black fans will be able to watch it live on Prime Video, a streaming channel.
