‘We understand the fans’ minds’, says Biel after Bahia leaves the field booed

Bahia only drew with Athletico-PR at home and saw the number of fans decrease at Arena Fonte Nova. Those who went to the stadium did not stop supporting the Squadron, but they also demanded when they saw the team increase the sequence of games without feeling the taste of triumph. With seven matches without winning, Rogério Ceni’s men left the field booed by the Tricolor fans. For striker Biel, scorer of the Bahians’ goal, the act of protest is justified by the team’s stage.

“Seven games is a long time without winning, it messes with our heads. We understand the fans’ minds. We started the first round very well, we had a slight drop, but this point, whether we like it or not, leaves us ahead of Corinthians It depends on us, our goal is to reach the Libertadores. Now we have to focus and work harder to get this ‘bad shit’ out of us, it’s not possible”, said the number 11.

Bahia’s last triumph occurred against Criciúma on September 29th. When they take the field again in the Brazilian Championship, the squad led by Rogério Ceni will have had two full months since the last positive result. In this period, there were five defeats and only two draws. Upon return, the Squadron scored just 16 points in 16 matches. The score leaves the club in 12th place in the final stage of the competition, which highlights the team’s drop in performance.

With the result, Tricolor reached 47 points and continues in the same position in the Brasileirão table. Occupying eighth place, the Bahian club could see the difference between Cruzeiro increase. The miners still play on Wednesday (27) against Grêmio. Still in crisis, Bahia will only return to the field next Saturday (30), against Cuiabá at Arena Pantanal. The ball drops at 7:30 pm.
