At Corinthians, Anderson Martins played in 2014, a spell that lasted 21 matches. There is respect for Timão, but his identification with Cruzmaltino is very strong.

As a Vasco fan, Anderson Martins analyzed the club’s current situation and did not hide his nervousness about the final.

“We are waiting because we know the desire of the fans. They know what Vasco means for Brazilian football. And we also know how seriously Pedrinho takes it, the love he has for the club. He left everything behind to rebuild the club. Sometimes taking a lot of blows. We know it’s not easy. Sometimes when the result doesn’t come, people take advantage of bad times to say bad things about the work. But we know he’s serious. Because we know the people who are there. I think I have the same I feel like when I was there in 2011. I can’t wait for the match to end, for the fans to celebrate this title.he declared.

Regarding the first match, which ended 0-0, Anderson Martins commented: “I think Vasco, playing away, had a good attitude. I think the fans are very confident for this last game. But I think it’s still open. They are two great teams, with great fans.”

The big decision this Sunday will take place in a crowded Maracanã, at 6 p.m. Vasco are looking to win the tournament twice, while Corinthians are lucky to be four-time champions.

Anderson Martins runs to watch the final in Rio de Janeiro. The former athlete was in Fortaleza. “I’m looking forward to being here. I think it’s going to work. Even to meet friends that we made in football. We also support Felipe (manager), Pedrinho (president), who are guys that we like and who do a great job. (Fernando) Diniz too, with whom I had the opportunity to work. We want Vasco to become champions and to really return to those cycles of success that the fans deserve.”he said.
