Zubeldía on Fluminense’s loss to Ceará: “We didn’t do anything right” | OneFootball

They outplayed us, they were better today, just as we were better before. In terms of attitude, duels, goal situations, finishing, they outperformed us. We all did a poor job, we were bad. And when you play poorly, you risk losing. We cannot allow ourselves to have the attitude we had today. There was also the sending off, which complicates the match proceedings... and a ball where we were poorly positioned, which we usually control well... We played poorly, and when you play poorly, the opponent has a chance to grow. We conceded easy situations, we could have competed and returned with a point, but we did nothing well.” – declared Zubeldía.

I think this is the big challenge we have until the end of the season, not only in the Brasileirão but also in the Cup (of Brazil)... there are defeats and defeats. We went to Recife and they equalized in the last play. In Mirassol, we lost a ball in a final play. But today, we played poorly from start to finish. We couldn't find our rhythm, our depth. Ceará has a defensive strength, I think they are the fifth team with the fewest goals conceded. And that's why we knew it could be difficult to create, to generate situations, because they have this virtue, they defend well and quickly counterattack. We couldn't control everything we had talked about and worked on these two days. We needed changes at halftime, we gave them all sorts of advantages, and our opponent took advantage. In general terms, the defeat is well justified, and we need to quickly correct it for the match against Mirassol.” – informed the coach.
