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.
