Dorival Júnior laments setback in the Brasileirão | OneFootball

This Saturday (8), head coach Dorival Júnior gave a press conference after the 2-1 loss to Grêmio at the Arena do Grêmio, in Porto Alegre (RS), in the 22nd round of the Brasileirão.

“The team is showing up, playing, and creating chances, so there are positive aspects. But we scored the opening goal and, all of a sudden, we lacked the ability to hold on to the result. That has been worrying us. We’ll keep working, there’s no other way,” he said.

The coach also assessed the team’s difficulties in the match.

“The main concern is that we score and create chances, but we concede more goals in situations where the opponent takes advantage of a weakness than from actual build-up play,” he concluded.

Tricolor’s next match will be against Bolívar (BOL) on Tuesday (11), at 9:30 p.m., at Hernando Siles Stadium in La Paz, Bolivia, in the first leg of the CONMEBOL Sudamericana round of 16. In the Brasileirão, the team returns to the field against Coritiba on Saturday (15), at 9 p.m., at MorumBIS.
