This Wednesday (22), head coach Dorival Júnior held a press conference after the 2-1 defeat to Athletico Paranaense at Estádio Cícero de Souza Marques, in Bragança Paulista (SP), in the 19th round of the Brasileirão.
“First, we have to regain our balance in a league as tricky as the Brasileirão. We cannot forget that. We have to be aware that the responsibility for the moment we are going through is entirely ours. And we have to start finding within ourselves a way to recover,” he said.
The coach also analyzed the work carried out during the mid-season training period and how those sessions were reflected in the first half of tonight’s match.
“We had a long period for training, for work. And I think what was seen in the first half was very much what had been developed. So we have to be aware, we have to take responsibility for this situation and not keep pointing to other issues,” he concluded.
Tricolor’s next match will be against Flamengo on Sunday (26), at 6:30 p.m., at the Maracanã, in Rio de Janeiro (RJ), as the Brasileirão continues.
