Cassierra rues missed chances, says Atlético owe fans away from BH | OneFootball

After another away defeat in the Brazilian Championship, forward Mateo Cassierra commented on Atlético's current situation, as they were once again defeated far from Belo Horizonte. Last Saturday (21), Galo was beaten by Fluminense at Maracanã in a match where they created more opportunities but failed to find the net.

Despite a competitive performance, especially in the offensive sector, Atlético continued to face challenges as visitors. In eight matches played so far in the Brasileirão, with four at home and four away, the team has yet to earn points away from BH — accumulating four defeats in four matches.

After the match, Cassierra acknowledged the team's responsibility and the need to improve in away games. The forward highlighted that the period without matches, due to the FIFA Date, will be important for adjustments.

“We know our responsibility and that we need to improve in away games. Now we will have a week and a half to work better. Obviously, each game has its own different story, we wanted to win here. We will rest and already think about the next game”, he stated.

Regarding the performance against Fluminense, the Colombian lamented the lack of efficiency in finishing, despite the offensive volume presented: “We created many chances to score and we couldn't. We have to keep working, this is football, we need to evolve”, he added.

Cassierra also commented on his physical condition and the adaptation process to Brazilian football, highlighting the importance of the sequence of games after the break.

Finally, the forward spoke about his partnership with Hulk in the team's offensive sector, expressing satisfaction with the duo: “I feel very good playing with Hulk. He is a player with a lot of quality and I feel good playing close to him. Today we deserved at least a draw or even to win the game. We didn't manage to, and now we have many matches ahead. It's about continuing to work hard”.

With the break for international matches, Atlético will have a longer training period before the next match. They will return to the field on April 2, once again away, against Chapecoense in Santa Catarina.
