Around 20 Vasco fans welcomed the team in Fortaleza, on Tuesday night, upon arrival at the hotel where the delegation will be staying for the first leg of the third phase of the Copa do Brasil.
A more excited Vasco fan demanded a lot from the players: “Tomorrow we have to play, the team isn’t playing at all”, he shouted. The same fan argued with one of Vasco’s security guards, after he pushed the fence and almost hit Vegetti.

Several athletes stopped to talk to fans. They took photos and signed autographs. Pablo Vegetti, the team’s top scorer this season, was one of the most celebrated. Léo Jardim, Medel and David were also tied – the striker, who played two years at Fortaleza, signed a shirt for Vasco’s opponent this Wednesday and heard a Vasco fan ask for “the ex’s law”.
Vasco faces Fortaleza this Wednesday, at 7pm, at Arena Castelão. Midfielder Payet, recently recovered from an injury to his right knee, stayed in Rio de Janeiro improving his physical skills. Defender João Victor is suspended and also did not travel.
Coach of the under-20 team, Rafael Paiva will lead the professional on an interim basis. In two days of training, he did tests and outlined Vasco with three defenders. The likely team is: Léo Jardim, Paulo Henrique, Rojas, Maicon, Léo, Lucas Piton, Sforza, Hugo Moura, Mateus Cocão, David and Vegetti.
