Tite admits Cruzeiro’s poor form, notes: only three rounds in | OneFootball

After the draw with Mirassol, Cruzeiro reached its third game without a win in the Brazilian Championship. After defeats to Botafogo and Coritiba, coach Tite acknowledged Raposa’s poor form but emphasized that the tournament is still in its early stages.

“There are no easy games in the Brasileiro. (We have) the need to score points and perform. Now, we need calm and discernment to do our best work. It’s only three rounds, everyone makes their own analysis. It’s insufficient for Cruzeiro, yes… But it’s only three rounds,” said the coach.

In addition to their poor form in the Brasileiro, Cruzeiro is also having a tough time in the Campeonato Mineiro. Although they only depend on themselves, needing a win against URT to advance to the semifinals, the initial string of bad results has disrupted the team’s planning.

Because of this, fan protests are becoming more and more frequent. Tite acknowledged the fans’ frustration but emphasized that the team will only improve through “work and persistence.”

“The greatest passion of the fan is the club. But there are others (fans) who may have patience and see things differently. I’m not going to respond all the time… It’s work and persistence. Perform and get results. That’s what will bring about the turnaround,” he concluded.

Cruzeiro’s situation this season

With the draw against Mirassol, Cruzeiro is in 19th place in the Brazilian Championship, with just one point. In the State Championship, Raposa leads Group C with 12 points and needs a win to secure a spot in the semifinals.
