Vasco and Flamengo face off this Saturday, in São Januário, and the rivals are very clear who is the main goal hope for each side: Germán Cano and Pedro. After a great start in the Brazilian, with seven goals, the Argentine is going through a difficult stage. The roles were reversed.

While Canó has not scored six games (four for the Brazilian), Pedro has scored six times in the last five games. The Flamengo forward started the competition as an option on the bench, but took advantage of the opportunities and consolidated himself, especially in the absence of Gabigol due to injury.
Throughout the season, Pedro played 28 games (13 as a starter) and scored 14 goals. A great average of one goal every 87 minutes on the pitch.
– Pedro not only ends well, he brings important things to the team. When you have a problem, you can throw it at him. This is very important. We are happy. He, like everyone else, needed to improve physically and now he is helping a lot, analyzed coach Domènec Torrent.
The numbers show that Vasco is more dependent on Cano, who scored 7 of the team’s 17 goals for the Brazilian. In these six quick games for the Argentine, the team of now former Maltese cross coach Ramón Menezes did not win. The instability of the team was reflected in jersey 9: in the 3-0 loss to Bahia, it ended only once. It has been less driven by comrades.
In the season, Canó has 16 goals. It is unimaginable that, even in the face of a bad phase, he would lose his place in the team, which will be led by Alexandre Grasseli, U-20 coach.
Vasco is the Brazilian’s tenth place with 18 points. Flamengo occupies the second position with 24 points.
