Pyramids boss rows with journalists after Flamengo loss: "You know nothing"

Questions about second-half changes bothered Krunoslav Jurcic

Pyramids coach, Krunoslav Jurcic, showed irritation during the press conference after the defeat to Flamengo in the World Cup semifinal. Asked about the substitutions made in the second half of Saturday's match (13th), the Croatian coach argued with journalists on at least two occasions.

Sorry, sorry, sorry. We reached the semifinal. I don't want questions about what minute I changed players. What do you want? What do you want? I don't want to answer this question,” he said. “We faced Flamengo in a semifinal and he's asking about me substituting after 75 minutes. What do you want? Two more questions and I'm leaving. (…) You started talking about what minute the coach changed a player. You don't understand anything about football! Zero,” he stated.

Krunoslav Jurcic has been leading Pyramids since 2023 and, since then, has taken the Egyptian club to the peak of the club's history. As a result, the Croatian coach won the CAF Champions League and established the team on the continental scene.

HOW WAS THE MATCH BETWEEN FLAMENGO AND PYRAMIDS?

Flamengo started better, controlled possession, and pressured Pyramids in the offensive field. Consequently, they opened the scoring at 23 minutes when Arrascaeta took a free kick and Léo Pereira scored with a header. Still, the team only had a scare in stoppage time, with a decisive save by Rossi.

After the break, Pyramids tried to advance more. However, Flamengo maintained control and quickly extended the lead, again from a set piece: Arrascaeta crossed and Danilo headed in to make it 2-0.

Finally, with the advantage secured, the Rubro-Negro managed the result, made substitutions, and confirmed the victory in Doha, securing the ‘Challenger Cup’ title and a spot in the Intercontinental final against PSG (FRA).
