Athletico’s interim coach, Wesley Carvalho, positively assessed the Hurricane’s performance against Flamengo this Wednesday (12). Even with the defeat by 2 to 0 and the elimination of the quarterfinals of the Copa do Brasil.

Wesley Carvalho extolled the support of the crowd, who packed the stadium and had a good party as the team arrived. For the coach, the performance of the athletes, who have had a higher performance than that of Flamengo, only from the adverse score.

– First of all, I want to thank the fans immensely. The athletes felt the support on the field. You did your job, you filled the stadium, but sadly we couldn’t equalize… We played a great match and were able to implement what we had planned. We had several occasions, many submissions, we took Flamengo out of their comfort zone. We have been efficient, but not effective. In football, heaven and hell are very close.

For Wesley Carvalho, Athletico has shown that they can evolve even more until the end of the season and fight for the other titles they contest. The coach claims that the team has been able to win and must learn from mistakes.

– Both games have been opened. We would be able to pass. We must learn from mistakes in order not to make others. The positive side is that our team built 28 shots, proposed the game, didn’t allow Flamengo to keep the ball for most of the match. There’s nothing work can’t fix… We have 24 hours to suffer. Next, we point out the negative and positive points to work on and keep improving.

Now, Atletico have the Copa Libertadores and the Brazilian championship ahead of them. In the continental competition, the team is in the round of 16 and will only play next month.
