Jardim praises Vasco’s clinical edge, rues Cruzeiro mistakes in Rio defeat | OneFootball

"Easy analysis to make. A very equal game in terms of the teams' actions, with the opponent taking advantage of our mistakes and we not taking advantage of the chances given in offensive terms. We ended up with the opponent getting a bit better and then in the second half, I even think we were better, but we suffered the 2-0. But I think it was a very equal game, in numbers of situations and finishes. We had finishes inside the opponent's area that were blocked, hesitations we had and did not make the best decisions. I had already said that Vasco was in its best phase, we played an equal game, but in terms of efficacy, which is the most important word in football, the opponent was more effective than us."

"Honestly, I'm not one to link games and each game has its story, it's a different reality. We couldn't win, despite the team having attitude and commitment to the game, they were connected, but it didn't happen what we intended. Regarding the next game, we have to prepare, play with everyone, we will prepare for Flamengo as we will for all the others. A team that is ahead and everyone knows its quality, but we have the ambition to play for the result. In the first round they were favorites and remain favorites."

"Vasco had a good use of our mistakes and we didn't have this ability, because we had situations of shooting inside the area and combination situations that we weren't quick to execute, that we didn't have clarity in defining the play. Football is this. Sometimes they try and things don't work out. And today was that game that several tried to execute and things didn't go well. There have been games that with fewer finishes we scored goals."

"I think our mistakes were not mistakes that the opponent provoked us, they were more technical situations that happened. But only those who are inside make mistakes. These are things that happen. It happened today. But in offensive terms we couldn't finish, so it's not what makes the goal or the assist that wins the game, it's everyone. And when we lose, we all lose. We are sad because it is not our way of approaching, we like to win."

"He was out for a long time. We don't have Villalba, Jonathan played with a better second half, a positive game. But he had a muscle problem and we took the opportunity for João Marcelo to come in. It's not easy to come in at this pace, but he had the opportunity to finish the last 15 minutes."

"These players who came to us, with the exception of Kauã Moraes who was playing at Athletico and had game rhythm, the others hadn't even done pre-season and were on long breaks. Sometimes it's not easy to prepare players in this context. Sinisterra had a strain that usually stops for about 7 days, let's see if this week we can get him to work to count on him."
