Mano Menezes takes the blame for thrashing, slams Grêmio’s performance | OneFootball

At the Casa de Apostas Arena Fonte Nova, in Salvador, Grêmio was defeated by Bahia 4-0 this Sunday, in the 29th round of the Brazilian Championship. After the poor result, coach Mano Menezes took responsibility for the team's performance this Sunday.

“We went back to being the Grêmio we no longer wanted to be. With the responsibility I have to take on the part that the coach has to assume: with any absence, Grêmio cannot present the game it presented this Sunday,” said Mano Menezes.

“Delivered nothing”

Subsequently, Mano criticized Grêmio's performance. The coach stated that the team was dominated from the start and delivered nothing in the match against the Bahian team.

“We were widely dominated by Bahia, which had its merits, of course. From the first minute, we couldn't present a game worthy of our team's level, even with all the absences. We should have delivered a better game for sure. If we look at it, we lost 60 duels in the game, we never won the ball,” argued the coach.

“In the game, there was one team that contested everything and another that almost contested nothing. We have to know how to lose. Because we will lose, we are not a team that won't have problems, there are many teams better than us. However, we have to know how to play difficult games like this. The team had been showing this capability, but today it delivered nothing,” Mano concluded.
