Bahia has a new direct confrontation ahead of them in the Brazilian Championship. This Monday (28), the Squadron faces Vasco, at 9pm, in São Januário, Rio de Janeiro, and seeks to take an important step towards a place in the Libertadores.
Tricolores and Alvinegros are separated by just six points on the leaderboard. Therefore, winning away from home will be essential for the Bahian team to not only gain valuable points, but leave their rivals behind.
Among the weapons to win in Rio de Janeiro, the Squadron focuses on the physical aspect. The team had just over a week to prepare for the duel, while the Vasco team played against Cuiabá, last Thursday, in a delayed match. For full-back Santiago Arias, however, arriving at the game more rested will only be worth it if the tricolor does its part on the field.
“I don’t know about another team, but we are focused on always doing our best, it’s normal that sometimes we don’t succeed, because we face strong teams, big teams that work for that. Now they [Vasco] They arrive with a little more minutes, but, at another time, we also had games in a row and we managed to win. I don’t think it will change much, it will depend on us”, said the Colombian.
Arias, in fact, is one of the Squadron’s new additions for the clash. The full-back is back after serving a suspension in the 1-1 draw with Cruzeiro, at Mineirão. He will replace Gilberto. Caio Alexandre also returns and will form the starting midfield, with Jean Lucas, Everton Ribeiro and Cauly.
The team’s main doubt is in the attack. Biel made a good impression in the last match and is competing for a place in the starting lineup. The main target to leave the team is attacking midfielder Thaciano. Bahia’s top scorer this season, with 14 goals, he is going through a drought and hasn’t found the net in nine matches.
Ademir and Luciano Rodríguez also run on the outside. Rogério Ceni even left open the possibility of making changes, but will only confirm any type of change minutes before the start of the match. Regardless of who is chosen, Arias guarantees that the Squadron will be ready to play a good game.
“It’s always serious to go out on the field and face anyone. We always try to play our game, fulfill the coach’s plan, regardless of who the opponent is. We have to show the same energy, the same desire”, he stated.
While Bahia has important returns, at Vasco, the headache is due to the loss of one of the team’s main pieces. Center forward Vegetti received his third yellow card against Cuiabá and is out. The Argentine is the cross-Maltino top scorer this season, with 20 goals, 13 more than fellow striker David, in second place.
Another who is also suspended due to the accumulation of cards is midfielder Hugo Moura. The tendency is for the boy Rayan, just 18 years old, to be selected in charge of the attack. GB, Bruno Lopes and Alex Teixeira are also among the options.
