After coach Filipe Luís commented on the performance of the team, who is now the leader of the Brazilian Championship. The coach began the press conference by extolling the work of Rodrigo Caio, former club defender and newly unnecessary to his coaching staff, in the interview by the countryside.
– Blocked games are often unlocked on the set ball. We believe that the arrival of Rodrigo Caio, along with the whole commission, has influenced a lot of this power. The players themselves believe and are feeling powerful again on the set ball, ”he said.
At another time, asked about arbitration and Filipe preferred not to comment.
See the main points of the collective of Filipe Luís:
Arrival of the new signings Emerson Royal and Saul ñíguez
– I spoke to both of them. Saul has not played since May, but had been training. It is conditioned, but it still needs more time. Emerson had been doing the preseason with the team, so it may be that we can count on him a little before. But I believe it is quickly [estreia dos dois]because they are very fit, they are young.
— I see Saul in all midfield positions. It’s a guy who will add a lot of quality and competitiveness for us. There is a lot of arrival in the area, has a goal, heading very well, besides the individual technical quality. We are very happy to be able to count on him.
Medical Situation of Nicolás de la Cruz
– Nico is in the medical department. Who defines the schedules, clearances and deadlines is the medical department. For my part, what I can say is that it is an extraordinary player, it helped us a lot until this premigial injury. I am super grateful to him because it was a time when we were very delicate from casualties, it was really at the limit, and he was in the sacrifice when he ended up having that injury. He is a player who sacrifices himself, puts his own body at the service of the team. It will have my protection and my affection always. I am telling the days so I can go back because it is very important to us.
Speculation about Lucas Paquetá in Flamengo
“He’s not our player, he’s a premier League club, one of the best clubs in Europe, we have to respect.” Paquetá has a very big story here, has the affection of the fan. I have no doubt that Paquetá takes place on any team in the world. You always find a place for players with this quality.
GROUP UNION AND PEDRO
– The group is very good. Just want to win, make history, win titles and games, want to continue with this ambition. This I realize every day. With Pedro’s situation, just seeing him doing it on the field is amazing. He is very well. We are very happy with his performance. Without a doubt it is a very important player for us.
Jorginho
— He is a totally differentiated player, unique in his position. He is having this sequence of games too because we have some injuries [Pulgar, de la Cruz e Allan]. Of course I have to take special care as a coach, but it is a player who takes care, has a very low injury history and is greatly enhancing our team, so I am very happy with his performance.
Triple Crown Dream
-First, win Thursday (laughter). I don’t think for the long run. We know the importance of competitions. The pantry [do Brasil] Okay, we are alive, we have possibilities and we have to win from Atlético. As the games are passing, we see where we will arrive in all of them. You can’t say ‘we will win them all’ and in the end, you don’t get to any. As I always say, it’s game game – Finished Filipe Luís
