The coach comments on the cheer of the team around him
After Flamengo qualified for the final of the Copa do Brasil, Jorge Sampaoli celebrated the victory over Grêmio and started projecting the decision against São Paulo. In a press conference this Wednesday (17), after the match at the Maracanã, the coach gave the recipe for his players to become champions.
– I hope we have the will and motivation to win a title. These players come from finals that didn’t go well, since the elimination of the Libertadores. We have to play this final with our lives – said Sampaoli.
The Argentine also commented on the moment of celebration for Arrascaeta’s goal, in which the athletes gathered in the technical area and celebrated with him. Sampaoli kept putting a warm cloth on the controversy and declared that he had experienced a moment of joy with the cast.
– Unity is important, but it’s more important when things don’t work out (well). In life, in football, things usually go less than well. So that’s when you really see the human being, when things don’t work out. When things go well, when he scores a goal, the party is normal. Surely, the loneliness of the coach, in defeat, would have happened today too. I believe a coach’s decision, a coach’s decision making is related to the area which is projection and execution is another area I don’t get there with. If I love the way of playing, of training, that the team is trying to achieve, sometimes it can happen, sometimes it doesn’t, because of the transfer we are making to Flamengo, after a big crisis before my arrival. So it can happen, as it can’t happen. So we’re trying everywhere. We’re trying to get a group of players to act a certain way, it takes time, sometimes it happens quickly and sometimes it never happens.
Flamengo faces São Paulo in the Copa do Brasil decider, although the home team has not yet been defined. The first leg will be played on September 17, while the last match will be played on the 24th of the same month.

THE FINAL
– It’s a thrill to reach the final of the Copa do Brasil. The team was much better than it had been playing lately. I am happy.
CLEAN
– Pulgar is a fixed steering wheel that gives us a lot of balance. When he plays, the team has a lot of fees and a lot of ball outgoing, so I opted for him. He stopped playing due to the injury. Honestly, for me, it’s very important.
LUIZ ARAUJO
– I think Luiz Araújo is about to play, I have doubts about whether he will start or not. He is at a very good level. As I said, in the middle of this hot football circle, we have Pulgar above or below. It’s not to destroy the environment, we have to make choices. People sometimes need the violence of football to live. We are part of it.
TALK TO PEDRO
– I’m not talking about private situations. I have relationships with the player. But honestly, my private talks I don’t mention them.
DECISION IN ONE MONTH
– We have to play like today to compete which is in a moment of growth. A month is like a year. Maybe I’m not even here. Well this is football. It’s blood. We have to see how they arrive, how we arrive. They not only have great players but also a great coach.
RODRIGO CAIO
– Rodrigo is a professional who has suffered many injuries in his career. He is improving and will have to fight for a place with David, Fabricio and Leo. He is a player with many qualities and can help in the future.
COMPETITIVENESS
– Emotional. If the team has the emotion they had today, plus the mistakes and successes, fighting for 90 minutes, pressing, running, they will certainly be competitive. If you activate this skill, you will definitely be vulnerable.
Clash with DORIVAL JUNIOR
– I don’t feel pressured to face Dorival for winning a title with Flamengo. Dorival has an extremely competitive team. Today I saw a small part of the match between São Paulo and Corinthians, and they were superior. For me it’s important to be in the final with Flamengo.
