Pierre urges Fortaleza: "We can't afford to drop points" | OneFootball

This Thursday, in a match valid for the 32nd round of the Brazilian Championship, Fortaleza visited Ceará at Castelão, drew 1-1, and missed out on two points, as they are fighting to get out of the relegation zone. After the match, Pierre called for a reaction from Leão do Pici.

“We are sad about the draw, especially since we let it slip away in stoppage time. We knew that a win would put us in a better position on the table. But there is no time to lament, now it's time to rest, recover, and turn the page, focusing on Grêmio, who is our next opponent,” he stated to Premiere.

With the result, Fortaleza reached 29 points, in 18th place on the table, and remained distant from Santos (34), the first team outside the relegation zone. On the other hand, Ceará reached 39 points, in 13th position in the tournament.

“The margin for error is getting smaller, and we can no longer negotiate points. We knew the importance of this game, being a classic and the need for three points. However, as I said, it's about turning the page, not lamenting, and focusing on the next game against Grêmio, which is very important for us,” he concluded.
