Zubeldía: Fluminense lack composure, but create plenty | OneFootball

After the 1-0 victory over Mirassol on Thursday (6th) at Maracanã, coach Luís Zubeldía analyzed Fluminense's performance and acknowledged that the score could have been more decisive. For the Argentine, the offensive volume presented by the team was positive, despite the errors in finishing plays. — It is important for the team to create goal opportunities. In general terms, despite it being a match to highlight against a G-4 team, today we won well and could have scored more goals. We wanted to finish, to be decisive. But just by creating goal opportunities, I feel more at ease. Just like we did poorly against Ceará. Today, even though we scored only one goal, the team pleased me more than in the last match — he stated.

The last four victories of Fluminense, including this Thursday's, ended with the same score: 1-0. Questioned about the difficulty in converting chances into goals, Zubeldía assessed that the team needs to be calmer when finishing. — There might be a lack of calmness in the finishing. We create well, get close to the area, but we need to make better use of these plays — he explained.

The result brings Fluminense closer to the direct qualification zone for the Libertadores. Now, the Tricolor is two points behind Bahia, the fifth-placed team.
