Serene after On Saturday night (2), in Maracanã, coach Renato Gaúcho spoke again about the wear and tear of the players. Despite the four straight losses that the team suffered in Brasileirão, the coach defended the rotation they had been doing on the team, but said that the intention from now on is to make only punctual changes when there is need.
➡️
– I always study our opponents well. I look more or less to climb my team in what I believe that in that game will get along, regardless of being away or indoors, but the best scheme we found so far was with the three steering wheels – said Renato Gaucho.
– From now on, whenever possible we will maintain basically a base. And try to change little, really change where you need, where the player is suspended, or that people think that playing can suffer an injury. But the backbone, more or less, I already have.
The coach of Fluminense said that the carriage of players in the team was a necessity, and that he, Renato Gaúcho, is “vaccinated” about it.
– When I was sparing, a lot of people said “oh, but they have to define the team, they have to play the team.” No, you don’t have to define a team. To some extent, you have to give everyone opportunities, leave everyone at a rhythm – said Renato.
– You (press) They may even criticize, but analyze the wear and tear that the Fluminense group has been having. The injuries are appearing. And these things I can say, because I’m vaccinated about that. I dispute several Brazilian championships, dispute several Cups of Brazil, several South Americans, Libertadores. And when I say you have to save from time to time, it’s because I know what I’m doing.
See what Renato Gaúcho said at the press conference
Victory over Grêmio
A very caught game, a very disputed game, characteristic of the southern teams, but Fluminense also fought all the time. So we knew it was another game of few opportunities, we had to enjoy them. We took advantage, we scored the first goal in the first half with Everaldo. We returned to the second, Grêmio came back a little better than us, but we took the reins of the match again and we continued to fight, fighting. Football is like this today. If you don’t have some stars on the team, you have to at least dispute, fight with your opponent. This is how Brazilian football is.
Base players
I try to give everyone opportunities. Base boys are good boys, with a very big future. I talk to them a lot, and in everyday life I look for to cut them. Even today (Saturday) I had to draw Riquelme’s attention during the match, and now in the locker room. Because he can’t do what he did with his opponent, stepping on the ball.
So these are things you don’t know in everyday life, that the coach passes. The coach, especially the boys at the base, is my job, is to correct these boys. So that we do not release the boys, the boys are not prepared, and soon the boy starts to burn, the fan thinks he has no future, and so on.
I like to slowly loosen the boys, and in everyday life I will correct them, I cut them, so that the moment they get in the field, they know exactly what should be done. So their opportunity has appeared.
Substitution of Hercules
He asked to be. He had a bubble that was bothering his foot. I couldn’t run. So that’s why I made the replacement. I even asked him to go back, but he said it was hard to run, it was hard to put on the boot. So I was forced to change.
Is Thiago Silva doubt for the game with Internacional?
Let’s look at, let’s wait 24 hours. You can’t give a diagnosis now because it is hasty. Both to one side and the other. Let’s wait 24 hours, let’s talk to the player. Let’s see if it is necessary to do some kind of exam, and from there we have a better definition.
It’s no use saying it’s out, it’s inside. Because we don’t know the next day how the player will behave. So let’s wait for the word of the medical department.
