Bahia came out in the quarterfinals of the Brazilian Cup to the night of Thursday at the Fonte Nova Arena. Luciano Juba’s goal 40 minutes into the second half softened an offensive performance of the team and even put the tricolor closer to an unprecedented semifinal of the competition. But not everyone was pleased in the match.
✅
Replaced 25 minutes, midfielder Cauly answered the boos of the fans, was embraced by Rogério Ceni and, annoyed, went straight to the locker room of the Fonte Nova Arena at the request of the coach himself.
“To make it clear, I asked Cauly to go to the locker room.” When he comes, he gets upset, nervous, I said, “Don’t answer, the crowd is predominant. They paid the ticket and have the right to speak. Go rest in the locker room,” explained the coach.
The fans even took the foot of shirt 8 all the time, something that was frequent in the games. With the low confidence and performance it leaves to be desired, that cauly that shone in 2023 became a luxury reserve of Bahia in 2025, but Ceni still gives many credits to the athlete.
Cauly collaborated in a function that is not his because flea was only released for 30 minutes at most. Of course Caury is not the flea, it has no speed, it is construction. When I have a player who can only do 45 minutes, even if it is not the obligation of the fan to know, I have to use Caury by the side. Kayky leaves before because she was more tired, and didn’t go with two ends because they couldn’t afford it, ”said the coach.
Bahia’s challenge against Mirassol and sequence
This season has been especially cruel with Bahia, the most -gone team that entered the field with 58 games. The team is still alive in three competitions, but the team’s assembly has become an increasingly difficult challenge for Rogério Ceni, which begins to come across wear and cast injuries.
– In 3-3, everyone said that Fluminense had embezzlement and we played complete. Now I return: We play with several embezzlement, and Fluminense came complete. The game is not based only on it. We made the first 25 minutes very good. If this team has rested, playing once a week, you should deliver more time on play.
– If others complain about the ten -day calendar, we have two games in the interval. For us it’s tighter and more complicated to find players. Play Sunday, Wednesday, Saturday, while Fluminense must be resting and preparing. But that’s what we have, let’s find a way to survive, ”he added.
The next challenge of this Bahia full of embezzlement is scheduled for 6.30 pm on Sunday (Brasília time), when the team visits Mirassol, in Maião, for the 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship. The return match against Fluminense is scheduled for 7 pm on September 10, in Maracanã.
– Mirassol is a beautiful team, do not attach to names. In football this is worth nothing, what counts is motivation, youth is sometimes better than the Ranzinza guy who doesn’t want to work anymore. Mirassol is very well trained and only plays once a week. In addition to talent and coach, it has rest. Today they were watching us while everyone killed themselves on the pitch.
