This Wednesday (22), coach Dorival Júnior held a press conference after the 2-1 defeat to Athletico Paranaense at Estádio Cícero de Souza Marques, in Bragança Paulista (SP), in the 19th round of the Brasileirão.
“First, we have to regain our balance in a league as tricky as the Brasileirão. We cannot forget that. We have to be aware that the responsibility for the situation we are going through lies entirely with us. And we have to start finding within ourselves a way to recover,” he said.
The manager also analyzed the work carried out during the midseason training period and the impact of those activities on the first half of tonight’s match.
“We had a long period for training and work. And I think that what we saw in the first half was very much a reflection of what was developed. So we have to be aware, we have to take responsibility for this situation and not keep pointing to other issues,” he concluded.
Tricolor’s next match will be against Flamengo on Sunday (26), at 6:30 p.m., at the Maracanã, in Rio de Janeiro (RJ), as the Brasileirão continues.
