Renato Gaúcho, Fluminense coach, analyzed the team’s defeat to Atletico-MG last Sunday (11), for the 8th round of the Brazilian Championship.
The Rio team even opened the scoring at the MRV Arena, but took the turn of the Minas Gerais rival twice – the last one, already in the additions, 51 minutes. The coach avoided criticism of the squad, but attributed part of the negative result to the lack of “trickster”.
“It was a little missing trickster for our team, because we came out ahead. We took the draw and the turn at our best moment in the match. We reached the draw and then missing a couple of minutes to finish the game, we took a set ball goal,” he said at a news conference.
“When I talk to trickery, I say that at the end of the game the ball can not even get close to our area. Atletico had two, three corner straight. It was at the moment that it was going to burn the last replacement to put a defender because I knew that at the end of the game Atletico would put the ball in the area, but unfortunately at that time we took the third goal. area, ”he explained.
Gaucho recognized the lack of offensive quality of both teams in the first half, and pointed out that Fluminense was worthy of victory for recovery in the second.
“The first half was not good, both for Fluminense and Atletico. Technically it was not good. The second half was caught, was a great second half of both parties. But from what Fluminense produced, I think we deserved even the victory,” he said.
The Minas Gerais club entered the field with many embezzlement, which were justified by the coach.
“Lima would play today, so much so that he did not travel to Bolivia. Unfortunately, on Friday he felt a grade 1 injury, and so it was out,” he said. “Ganso and Renato in the synthetic grass would be a danger to put them to play,” he added, referring to the new lawn of the MRV Arena, installed after renovation.
