Fabrício Bruno backs Tite after second straight defeat in the Brasileirão | OneFootball

The Cruzeiro suffered its second consecutive defeat in the Brazilian Championship this Thursday, losing to Coritiba in a comeback, 2-1, at Mineirão, in Belo Horizonte. In the final minutes of the game and after the final whistle, Tite was booed and cursed by the Cruzeiro fans. In defense of the coach, defender Fabrício Bruno stated that the team trusts the coach's work.

“The atmosphere is the best it can be. We work, we dedicate ourselves every day to see the games and deliver results. It turns out that things haven't been happening. We have full confidence in the professor's work. Of course, it’s a different methodology from what we were practicing last year. The fans don't have this conviction that in football, things take time for us to start getting the hang of it and start performing,” said the defender to Sportv.

Fabrício Bruno also lamented the phase that Cruzeiro is going through at the start of the season and acknowledged the lack of rhythm of the squad, which is competing in two competitions at the same time (Brasileirão and Mineiro). He also stated that the boos towards the team's performance from the fans are valid.

“Man, it ends here in these moments. Everything comes to the surface, right? The difficult moments. And maybe the team that is with little rhythm, we agree with that. I think the season piled up many games on top and it's been a month since we returned to training. And there are two competitions, one simultaneous with the other. I'm upset because I'm one of the fans here. I think the boos are fair also for the performance. I think the fan, above all, wants to see the result,” completed Fabrício Bruno.
