The technical director said he was proud of Raposa’s performance, but regretted the offensive ineffectiveness
Technical director Paulo Autuori praised Cruzeiro’s mental strength after the 1-1 draw against Atletico-PR in Mineirão. The commander appreciated Raposa’s ability to react after the goal conceded and the penalty missed by Bruno Rodrigues in the 27th minute of the second half.
– An emotionally weak team doesn’t react the way we did today after scoring a goal and missing a penalty. This means that the emotional is good. We have to maintain this intensity of play all the time against Botafogo – said Paulo Autuori in the press conference after the duel.
The celestial team managed to equalize through Matheus Pereira, and the coach lamented his team’s offensive ineffectiveness during the match, but made it clear that he left Mineirão proud of Cruzeiro’s performance. However, according to the technical director, Raposa could have been in a more comfortable situation in the Brazilian league if he had been more effective in attack.
– Continuity is important to understand failures. Today I leave here proud of what the team played today, especially what they created. We didn’t fail in creation, we gave it speed. We have also demonstrated progress. We couldn’t finish. This analysis will not change in two games.
– If we had been more effective we would be in a different position in the championship. It was also like this with Pepa and Zé Ricardo. These are things that have a negative impact. In our case, negatively. We started today projecting ourselves towards 2024 – added Autuori.
With this result, Cruzeiro reaches 45 points and occupies 14th place, four points more than Bahia, the first team in the relegation zone. In the next round of the Brasileirão, Cruzeiro will visit Botafogo on Sunday (3), at 18:30 (Brasilia time).
