History of Vasco vs Fluminense

VASCO RAN INTO VICTORIES IN THE 90S, BUT CROSS-MALTINOS AND TRICOLORS ALTERNATED LEADERSHIP OF THE DUEL. WINNER FINALS TO 80, THE ORANGE TEAM TOOK THE TURN AT 92


There are 10 games Fluminense has not won Vasco - are nearly three years.Since the 1990s, the supremacy of the team from São Januário on the Tricolor das Laranjeiras is remarkable: 44 victories are cross-maltinas against 22 tricolor - and 24 draws. A recent retrospective unimaginable for many fans who followed the Fluminense wins over rival on historical end - and always tricolor - in the 1970s and 1980. One of them is remarkable character in this comparison: Bismarck, number 10 the end of the 1980s and Vasco early 1990s, marking just the third turn of confrontation between the leadership of Vasco and tricolors.
- Wow, when I was a boy Vasco Fluminense only took the lambada. The memory I have of my childhood is my father sad as hell because of clashes with Fluminense - remember, first, Bismarck, now a businessman. - The Vasco estraçalhava Fluminense, lost goal for hell and go there Fluminense and was 1 to 0. And everyone said that Vasco was customer's Fluminense. That changed for me since childhood. When my generation only got them. 
Of Vasco family, Bismarck, who is 46 years old and works for 15 with Jorge Machado, before going into the field, nor his father saw Vasco lead the first clashes in retrospect. In the 1930s to the Express of Victory, vascaíno historic team, the Flu exceeded Vasco. In the 1960s to the 1980s, the supremacy returned to the Orange. And it was then that the Bismarck boy with his brother and father, put it on that story would change. A plant of great players of San Gennaro 1980s, which had Romario, Geovani, Maurice and many others, the former attacking midfielder made an historic goal against the tricolor in 1992. When the confrontation marked 99 wins apiece, he decided the classic Carioca which led Vasco to return to Duel leadership after 21 years.
The former defender Duilio was on the field when the boy Bismarck lamented the defeats to rival glued to the father and brother in the stands. The Tricolor Carioca champion was on top of Vasco in 1973, 1976 and 1980 and also Brazil in 1984. - We started winning at the time of the 80 But then the group was changing, players leaving, and Vasco regained - recalls Duílio , who is now coach of football and regrets the crowd aside dispute that prevents the game this Sunday be at the Maracana.
Who lived near "the groups changing" and the turn happening again was a former teammate Bismarck, Rio champion by his side in 1993 - Vasco won the state in 1992 and would be three in 1994. Geovani, the Little Prince, desentalou the pain of Vasco on March 13, 1988, the penalty to score the winning goal in the semifinals of the state against the tricolor, would lose a penalty in the same match. 
- I took the two seasons, when he lost and then began to win. Remember that 1-0, my goal, when we play after a long time without the band behind. Paul Victor was the goalie and their team was very good at that time. But he had always choked Fluminense - Geovani recalls, now 51 years old and living in Vitória, Espírito Santo.

- The best football matches I've done in my life have been against them, even when I lost was going well - Account former jogador.Geovani account that was called to play for Fluminense before Vasco, but a manager refused because "it I could not afford to play in Orange, where there were many like him. " 
The penalty of "desperation" to Bismarck If Geovani had special reason to face Fluminense, Bismarck remembers well his last moments of wearing the shirt of Vasco. Brazilian champion 1989, Rio 1992 and called too young for the World Cup 1990 by former coach Larazoni, he came to the state in 1993 with the certainty that the cycle in San Gennaro was closed. But the end was tumultuous for Bismarck. After 19 minutes the first time he missed a penalty in the decision.
- To date very vascaíno me on the street and says, "damn you missed the penalty in 1993". Then I say, "but you know who was champion?" That decision was very special, because I knew I was going out of Vasco, although he was not negotiated. And I wanted to leave champion. In 1990 when I returned from selection was six months without a contract, I returned poorly and was panned by fans and the press. I wanted to come out on top. When I lose that penalty I go into despair, it was disturbing. But we equalized, even in my memory of one of the ugliest games Classic - Bismarck recalls, referring to quarrels and misunderstandings that end of 1993 at the Maracana.
If the Flu got the better in the 1970s and 1980s, Vasco won the 1993 final, won the match which decided the title in 1994 and again go through rival in the 2003 Grand Final in Carioca this year, won 1-0 and in the first round of the Brazilian, won victory of 2 to 1. The tricolor fans can also cling to a coincidence: the last victory tricolor was precisely in Engenhão in the first game of the 2012 Brasileirão in Engenhão.
Players who live the warmth of classic today try to ignore the retrospect in speech like the coaches of the two teams. The boy Gustavo Scarpa, Fluminense, directly comment on the issue, but the experienced Rodrigo desconversa.
- We must try to break this fate, this sequence of bad games in this classic. We know our quality and regardless of what happened in the Brazil Cup, we have the condition to come out with the win - recalled Scarpa.
- This story of favorable retrospect has fallen. We're facing game at a time. We have a tough opponent now. The figures will stand aside and will enter our consciousness that we have to win these games - Rodrigo said.

What will be the successor of Messi and CR7?

Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo? This has been the primary issue among football fans in the past decade. Everyone has an opinion and everyone has to have a favorite. In fact, for some, like Johan Cruyff, it is neither a legitimate debate.

"There is a big difference with just being a great scorer and be the best player," argued the Dutch legend. "Every person who understands football knows that. It is absolutely ridiculous to me that some people actually think that Messi is not the best. This is not about Cristiano at all. He's a fantastic player, one of the best scorers in history. Treatment is like Messi is ridiculously good. "

Good taste

However, for others, like Luis Figo, it's all a matter of taste. "It's like choosing between white truffles or caviar," said the former captain Portuguese.

 What is beyond dispute is that the pair brought their best over the last 10 years, resulting in a a pair of football excellence, undoubtedly unprecedented. Messi and Ronaldo not only goals hit records, they broke them. They reached a consistent level of quality never before seen, dominating the Golden Ball since 2008 and winning every Goal 50 one by one.

It was truly a golden age for individual brilliance - but it raises the question of what will happen when the time finally reach Ronaldo and Messi. It is a fact, Ronaldo continues to have perfect physical, suggesting he could excel at the highest level for another four or five years. However, now 30, it is inevitable that their power may begin to decrease.

Lionel Messi, meanwhile, is 28 years old, so is still reaching its peak in time the maturity must marry perfectly with his innate ability. Still, the Argentine player has been more susceptible to muscle problems than his great rival Ronaldo, and the question is how long these talents begin to decline.

So when Messi and Ronaldo finally reduce the level to mere mortals, who will take the responsibility of maintaining the standards by which the large double was judged so far?

The most obvious candidate and seemingly natural heir to his teammate Messi is Barcelona, ​​Neymar. Since exploded in Santos, speedy striker has been touted as the next. Despite a somewhat slow start in his career at Barca, he has not disappointed. Neymar carried the weight of the nation's hopes on his shoulders in the World Cup last year in Brazil. And even played happy and freedom of a seemingly relieved man, before being cruelly cut the quarterfinals in the match against Colombia, after input Juan Zuniga.

Of course, there are many doubts about the seemingly frail physique of Neymar. Former player and hero of Croatia, Zvonimir said last year: "Neymar can win the Ballon d'Or is unlikely he is not so good, so powerful He is an incredible talent, but is currently far from being part of?.. first class. It will never be Ronaldo, Ibrahimovic and Iniesta, and especially not be Messi. "

However, statistics show that Neymar is progressing at a remarkable pace. He scored only 15 goals in his debut season in Spain. At last, made 39. In addition, his recent great goal against Rayo Vallecano was significant because it came in the absence of the injured Messi, reaching 60 goals for Barcelona with 79 matches unless the aforementioned Cruyff.

Neymar is proving himself to be a man for big moments, as evidenced by the fact that he scored goals in every game from the 8th to the final of the Champions League last season. In addition, Thomas Vermaelen recently admitted that he and his fellow defenders of Barcelona has many problems to contain Messi and Neymar in training. "They leave us open-mouthed," said the Belgian. "They are two demons."

Distractions off the field

The only doubts about Neymar capacity to be the heir of Messi are the distractions off the pitch. Unfortunately, the captain of the Brazilian national team has been investigated in Catalonia regarding legal issues surrounding the transfer and Cruyff is concerned about the constant controversy.

"He is always in the center of the storm by things outside of football," opined the Barca icon. "Neymar needs to play football to improve and develop in many areas it will only get playing football. The problem is that it is constantly on the negative things."

In terms of pure talent, however, there should be no stopping Neymar, soon becoming the most lethal striker. However, it could face stiff competition for the title as the dominant football force.

In fact, Paul Pogba has been touted for greatness since he was a teenager. The only person who had reservations was his coach at Manchester United, Alex Ferguson, who inexplicably authorized the departure of the French from Old Trafford for Juventus in 2013. The legendary Scottish coach has since blamed the Mino Raiola agent on the transfer of Pogba to Turin, but it is clear that Ferguson remains totally unhappy about half of the amount, arguing earlier this year that Juve should have accepted the offer of € 80 million from Barcelona made to the 22 years in the summer.

However, while Pogba had a really quiet start to the new season, the French legend Zinedine Zidane has no doubts about the potential of his compatriot. "The word 'error' is not something you normally associate with Alex Ferguson at Manchester United, but I think it was a mistake to let Paul Pogba leave. He will continue to be one of the best midfielders in Europe and he was the natural successor to Paul Scholes, someone who could have built the team around. "

This is a view shared by Rio Ferdinand, who remains perplexed by his former club have not fought tooth and nail to hold Pogba. "I saw firsthand what he could do and the player he could become," said the defender retired recently. "He has the height and strength of Patrick Vieira and feet of a dancer. He loves the game and wants to play in the best way. I could say with confidence that since I remain injury free, Pogba will be the best player in the world the next four years. Yeah, it's very good. "

The goalkeeper of Juventus and the selection of Italy, Gianluigi Buffon, also knew from the moment she laid eyes on Pogba that he was a special player and believes the French can compete with Messi and Ronaldo.

"After only a few training sessions, we saw how good he was. It can not be the same player who saw in Manchester, we think they might need glasses. I've never seen a player who is so good at his age, he It is so strong, so gifted technically, has outstanding play throughout the field. Pogba can do things that can only Pogba, like Messi and Ronaldo. "

Only time will tell, of course, Pogba and Neymar can come close to competing with the achievements of Messi and Ronaldo. It seems highly unlikely, however. Even Eden Hazard, Jose Mourinho claimed to have performed better than Ronaldo last season, admitted he will never be able to score goals with the same regularity that the remarkable Portuguese. "I often wonder what I can do to become like Messi and Ronaldo and do 50, 60 goals in a season," said the Belgian earlier this year. "I try, of course, but I realize that I will never be a true goalscorer It is not me is mainly the mental:... At 2-0, do not think it is enough, for example Sometimes, I still think after a goal 'that's enough'. I'm looking for records as some other players. If you can score 15 to 20 goals every season, I will be very happy, "he said.

The difference between Messi and Ronaldo and the rest is that they have no doubts about their own ability, and at the same time, have an insatiable desire for further success and more and more goals. So, for now, it is likely that it is better to take advantage to enjoy them fully as we can, as we were to never see again.

As former United striker Diego Forlan says: "We are fortunate to be able to watch Ronaldo and Messi at its best Enjoy them while they last, they are special talent.".

"Bale can compete with Messi for the Ballon d'Or," said coach Welsh

The Welsh coach, Benjamin Toshack, who has led Real Madrid and now in Wydad Casablanca said the attacking midfielder Gareth Bale can fight with Lionel Messi for the Ballon d'Or is played in its original position.

 "I know Bale since he was fourteen. The main problem is that paid a lot of money for him and want him to play in a position which is not natural. If you want to see melhro Bale put it in the right place. He can compete with Messi for the Ballon d'Or, he is younger, Toshack told the Radio Catalunya. 

The Welsh also talked about the rout 4-0 Barcelona over Real Madrid: "It is natural to question the work of a coach, even if he has just arrived, however, I do not think that's very clever of the Real. Madrid not wait. I see no need to change the coach now. "

With the new contract, Neymar can be the third highest paid in the world

After renew with Barcelona, ​​Neymar is expected to gain € 15 million (R $ 60 mi) per year.

The great performances shirt 11 can make the Catalan club make him the third highest paid player in the world. Information is the Spanish newspaper Marca.

Barca aims to increase earnings and consequently the termination fine player, which is currently set at € 180 million (R $ 715.2 mi). The intention of the team is a possible buyer needs to shell out € 1 billion (US $ 4bn) to remove him from Camp Nou.

According to Sport, the club also knows that Neymar can become even more valuable to the end of the year, depending on their performance in the Club World Cup in December. If the link is even signed, the Brazilian will be second only to Lionel Messi (R $ 147 mi per year) and Cristiano Ronaldo (R $ 107.8 mi).

Trading may have been accelerated due to recent statements father of Neymar, who said that if both follow with fiscal problems in Spain could seek a new club. Manchester United have made an offer to the ace last season.
