Vasco da Gama's game with Corinthians postponed so smoothly the team prepared for this game against Ceara. Main person of reckoning will surely be coach Gusmão, who during the World Cup left "invincible" Ceara to take Vasco, which also remains undefeated after the World Cup, but having three draws and a recent apparent decline in performance .
Gusmao said that has good memories of Ceara and nourishes good feelings, but since match starts he will do everything to win. For the difficult position in the standings said it should not be desperate, said that the group is rising.
Long term injury are defenders Ramon and Hernani. New injury victim is midfielder Phillippe (6 Coun.), while midfielder Nilton (16 / 3) is suspended. Midfielder Romoulo (9 Coun.) is back from suspension and will take his place.
There is a statement from players that the continued delay in the payment of salaries, will not affect their performance, but it is a fact that there are no good feelings for this situation.
Probable lineup (4-4-2): Pras - Fagkner, Dede, Titi, zoom, Rafael Carioca, Romoulo, Ze Roberto, Carlos Alberto - Jonathan, intestine Luis
Gusmão changes the players in Vasco. He puts Carlos Alberto and Ze Roberto in a position of epitelic midfielder which meansthat he wants to exploit the speed of both his offensive. It's something that has not ever tried before. Ceara with the power of home ground and the knowledge that the players face their former coach, can get the win.
