Léo Jardim: São Januário is Vasco’s ace despite winless streak | OneFootball

Vasco is going through a complicated phase at São Januário. The 3-2 defeat to Corinthians last Sunday marked the fourth consecutive game without a home victory in the Brasileirão, the worst streak since 2023. The last time the Gigante da Colina won at their stadium was on May 17, when they defeated Fortaleza 3-0.

Despite the turbulent moment, goalkeeper Léo Jardim showed confidence and highlighted the strength of São Januário and the fans as decisive points for the team's recovery in the competition.

– São Januário is still a great weapon for Vasco. The fans always show strength, they are present, fill the stadium, and push the team, even when we fluctuate. We have to listen to the criticism, understand it, and keep working to get out of this situation — said the number 1.

Since his arrival in 2023, this is only the second worst streak for Vasco in the Brasileirão under Léo Jardim's command. That year, the team lost five times in a row at the start of the championship and only won in the 18th round, against Grêmio, in a match marked by Vegetti's debut.

The home record is also concerning: Vasco currently has the fourth worst home campaign, with three wins, three draws, and four losses. The only victories were against Santos, Sport, and Fortaleza, teams also fighting against the lower part of the table.
