Alexsander Silva stated that Vasco has returned in recent years to compete in finals after a long time without reaching them, but failed to win the title. For him, this was not due to fate or mystical factors, but to the fact that the team advanced through overcoming challenges, without being truly strong and reliable — something that, according to what he wrote, was also reflected in the frequent battles against relegation in the Brasileirão. Silva mentioned that, historically, the club has only won national and international titles when it was far superior to its opponents, and not as an underdog. In his assessment, yesterday's team did not have enough quality: there was a lack of courage and personality, in addition to technical ability. He added that the pressure to end the wait for titles could weigh even more on players with technical limitations. The author argued that Vasco should assemble a squad fitting of the club's greatness, instead of seeking mystical explanations or hoping that the outcome would be different in the next opportunity. #Vasco #Futebol #Brasileirão (translated)
