On this Monday, in a match valid for the 23rd round of the Brazilian Championship, Cruzeiro visited Bahia at the Arena Fonte Nova, won by 2 to 1 and regained the vice-leadership, which belonged to Palmeiras. Jean Lucas, author of the Bahian goal, detailed the mistakes that the Tricolor de Aço made in the match and projected the team's next duel.
“We had an excellent first half, we dominated. In the second, we continued to play a good game and managed to score the goal with me, when we started to accelerate. I think we should have kept the ball a bit more. We know that their team is also of great quality,” he said in an interview with SporTV.
“Then, they scored a goal from a set piece, where we should have jumped, but we didn't jump. Unfortunately, we wanted to leave here with a triumph for the game we played, but now it's time to keep working and rest, because we have a game against Ceará on Saturday, which will also be very difficult,” he concluded.
With the result, Cruzeiro reached 47 points, now in second place in the table, and overtook Palmeiras, which has 46, with two more games, and was in the vice-leadership of the tournament. On the other hand, being defeated, Bahia remained with 36 units, in fifth position.
The team led by Rogério Ceni returns to the fields next Saturday, at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), when it visits Ceará, at Castelão, for the 24th round.
