The heart of Carlos Alberto will beat stronger when the ball roll in the classic today, against Fluminense. Besides the strong memories of the club that showed where and played for seven years, half knows that a victory could leave the Vasco very close to a place in the semifinal of the Guanabara Cup. A task which seemed almost impossible at the beginning of the season, taking into account that the coach had only 15 days to assemble a team with 19 new players in the group. But the reality and azarae is becoming one of the group is to Carlos Alberto, who takes the proper time to try to prove maturity.
