How did Vasco perform in their recent matches?

In the Rio de Janeiro state championship, Vasco drew 3-3 with Sampaio Corrêa after a back and forth game. In a friendly in Uruguay, Vasco beat Deportivo Maldonado 1-0 with a goal from striker Figueiredo.

What was discussed regarding midfielder Nenê?

The video praises Nenê's quality and argues he was key in Vasco avoiding relegation last season. It says his goals were crucial 1-0 and 2-1 wins late in the season over Fortaleza and América Mineiro.

What is the latest on Vasco's attempt to sign midfielder Cuéllar?

Vasco attempted to sign Cuéllar and the player agreed to reduce his salary, but his current club Al Shabab refused to release him from his contract which runs until 2026. So the deal appears to be off.

Who is Vasco's backup option if they cannot land Cuéllar?

If the Cuéllar deal falls through, Vasco will go back in for 22-year-old defensive midfielder Carlos Alcaraz from Argentinian club Newell's Old Boys as a backup option.

What happened with the earlier negotiations for Carlos Alcaraz?

Vasco had earlier reached a verbal agreement to sign Alcaraz, but Newell's president apparently went back on his word to sell the player. But Newell's needs money and Vasco's offer remains the highest bid.

How did Alexandre Matos react when the Alcaraz deal fell through?

Director Alexandre Matos was not happy when the earlier Alcaraz deal collapsed despite having the word of Newell's president, as he values credibility in negotiations.

Why might Newell's come back to negotiate for Alcaraz?

Despite being unhappy the deal collapsed, Newell's still needs money and Vasco's bid remains the highest offer. So there is an expectation Newell's will return to negotiations.
