Hey, Réver
Before the final training session ahead of the match against Vasco, defender Réver gave a press conference at Ninho do Urubu and discussed the upcoming game.
"I believe it will be a tough, but hopefully clean, classic match without violence. We preach peace in football, and it's not in our nature to bring violence to the stadium. It will be very physical on both sides; it can't be any other way. We have to do something different to win the matches. We will always respect Vasco, but we have to do something different to come away with the victory."
