On the seventh date of the Brasileirao, Vasco da Gama was beaten by Flamengo 6-1 and his agony continued. Coincidentally, it was the debut of coach Álvaro Pacheco, but the sad situation of Gary Medel It does not change and he has not played for more than a month since that 0-4 against Criciuma on April 27.
Although there is nothing official or confirmed, Pitbull is getting closer to the exit door more and more and that is why they asked the coach about him at the press conference. The first thing the counselor did was apologize for the resounding defeat and promised to work to change this reality. Furthermore, he spoke about Gary Medel and explained that he is in the same conditions as the rest of the team and that he must continue working.
“What I can say is that I have 36 players and that they are all training. Medel is among those players. I have been here for nine days and I had to make my selection”, the coach remarked. In this way, the Chilean defender once again has the same chances as all of his teammates after the scandal he experienced with former interim strategist Rafael Paiva.
In this line he clarified that “There were players who were better prepared and in the future, if the team needs Gary Medelyou will be able to play”. We will have to see what the Portuguese’s decision is next Thursday, June 13, when Palmeiras and Vasco da Gama clash for the eighth match of the Brasileirao. We must not forget that the Brazilian tournament will not take a break during the Copa América and will continue to be played.
Gary Medel was not part of history
Although it was bad news for him that he was not allowed to play yesterday, he was spared the humiliation of entering the team’s black history. This is because it was not just another match, but this edition of the Millions Classic has marked a before and after.
This 6-1 is the greatest historical beating that Mengao achieved over Camisa Negra. However, it was not enough for it to be the maximum beating of this rivalry, since that does correspond to Vasco da Gama who won 7-0 in 1931.
