Cruzeiro Could Finish the Fifth Round at the Bottom of the Brasileirão

Flamengo made the most of their home advantage and defeated Cruzeiro 2-0 this Wednesday (11th), in the fifth round of the Brasileirão. With this loss, the team from Minas Gerais remains in a tough spot in the championship. In a press conference, coach Tite admitted that the feeling is no longer just discomfort, but pain.

— Maybe it’s not even a feeling of discomfort anymore, maybe it’s a greater pain. It’s a stronger feeling we have because of this position. You look at the table and it bothers you. It bothers the club in general, it bothers us. It bothers everyone. But we know we can turn it around with our work — he said, before concluding:

— Everyone has their share of responsibility. Technical choices, tactical, individual, collective, everything forms a context. Just as in other situations, they can be beneficial, in other situations they also bring context. It’s context — Tite concluded.
