Fred Gomes on Ceará's form: this squad will bounce back | OneFootball

Wellerson Gomes / Ceará SC

Presented to the press this Monday, the 8th, football manager Fred Gomes commented on Ceará’s current situation. In his view, it is necessary to shield the locker room and seek internal solutions to give a response to the Alvinegra Nation, which expects a reaction from the Club in Brazil’s Série B.

The executive, who returns to the People’s Team after 15 years, said that one of the tasks will be to help players who have not yet managed to show their full technical quality in this first half of the season. Finally, Fred Gomes stressed the need to recalculate the route so that the goal of returning to Série A can be achieved at the end of the season.

"We need an effective diagnosis. The squad is competitive and qualified, but some players still haven’t delivered. We need to get that out of them. They are going through emotional instability because of the situation the club is facing. I’ve already spoken with president João Paulo Silva and with Ricardo so we can put a stop to this, so it doesn’t reach the locker room. Ceará’s fans are passionate, they demand results, and since the season has not yet fulfilled its objectives [...] we have to recalculate the route, think internally about what we can do, but I can assure you that, since our arrival, we have been working with the president, Gabriel Bedê and Ricardo, as well as Batatais and the staff, on solutions to reach our goal," Fred Gomes began.

"The demands must be made naturally and internally. Public exposure is not valid at this moment. Leading a club of Ceará’s stature, there are things that must be resolved internally. The Nation is waiting for a reaction from this group, and I am convinced that, starting on Wednesday, this group will give a response," he added.

The People’s Team’s next match takes place on Wednesday, the 10th, at 8 p.m. (Brasília time), against Avaí/SC, for the 12th round of Série B. With 13 points, the Most Beloved sits in 13th place and, with a win, could move up to 11th.
