Internacional held, Ramón Díaz: “We’ll fight to the end” | OneFootball

After a completely dominant first half, Internacional conceded a draw to Santos this Monday at Beira-Rio, in the 35th round of the Brazilian Championship. The 1-1 scoreline still leaves Colorado in a very uncomfortable situation, and coach Ramón Díaz assured that the team will “fight until the end” to earn points.

“Internacional is alive, far from dead. Even in the way we created, how we played. We are not afraid, we have to compete until the end and we will compete. I can assure the fans, the club, everyone to stay calm because we will compete until the end,” Ramón assured in a press conference.

Overwhelming First Half

The draw is frustrating for Internacional due to the excellent first half against Peixe. For comparison, Colorado had 14 shots against none from Santos during the first 45 minutes. Ramón Díaz praised the performance and reinforced that the team can get out of the difficult situation in the standings.

“Without a doubt, it was the best first half since we arrived at Inter. We controlled the game and created many situations. It is not easy to create so many chances and score only one goal. However, there are teams with 42 points, one more than us. We will all fight not to be relegated. The goal will be to maintain intensity and when there is a chance to finish the game, try to do so and play more calmly,” said Ramón.

With the draw, Internacional remains in 15th place, with 41 points after 35 games. The team's next commitment in the Brasileirão is this Friday, when Colorado visits Vasco da Gama at 7:30 PM (Brasília time), for the 36th round of the competition.
