Vasco’s melancholic end to the season after the Copa do Brasil defeat against Corinthians did not erase the feeling of pride in the dressing room and in the club in full reconstruction.
Behind the scenes, the board of directors, the coaching team, the athletes and the staff did not hide their discouragement, but left with the feeling that it is indeed possible to “think big” again.
This involves maintaining the project and the work of coach Fernando Diniz, who remains at the club, and President Pedrinho’s attempt to maintain and qualify the current squad.
The idea is to keep the main players, like Phillippe Coutinho, who has a contract until the middle of the year, and which he should renew, because he symbolizes this project of reconstruction and great reflection.
There are reservations about the team, which has suffered numerous defeats, several of them significant, but the feeling that fans are once again hopeful that Vasco can compete for bigger things.
The good relationship between athletes, coach and management was also a positive result, from a group that prioritizes caring for each other and thinking in a supportive way.
Despite this, the pain was shared by everyone. The efforts of athletes, management and employees to rebuild Vasco were recognized.
The club has managed to improve its structure, its internal processes and its working methods for high performance, by hiring better players, brought to compete like Vasco.
The feeling is that the path is correct and that it is necessary to improve it, resuming it in 2026, the year of the club elections, so that the reconstruction can reap the fruits of the achievements on the field.
