Vasco faces Grêmio this Wednesday at Grêmio Arena, in Porto Alegre, at 4 PM, for the 27th round of the Brazilian Championship. The match is crucial for the club, which is in the relegation zone and seeks a victory away from home for the first time in the tournament to get a small breather in the competition.
Midfielder Alan Lescano, newly signed, was listed for the match and became the 12th foreigner on the Vasco squad. With this, Vasco matches Botafogo as the Serie A team with the most foreign players, forming a very multicultural squad.
With the closure of the transfer window on Friday, the club failed to secure the arrival of Richarlison, who had been speculated. The main market investments were the hermanos Facundo Colidio, Santiago Sosa and Lescano himself, who formed Vasco's main bets for the final stretch of the championship.
In addition to the foreigners, Brazilians Bruno Duarte and Gabriel Pereira were also signings made by the board to fill obvious gaps in the squad. The multicultural Vasco squad now faces the challenge of earning points away from São Januário to try to escape relegation.
