The Raposa coach has provided some details on Walace’s minutes on the pitch and how he intends to include him among the starters
The absence of midfielder Walace, among the starters, attracted attention in Cruzeiro’s defeat against Internacional, last Sunday (25), in Beira-Rio. Walace, hired as a strong and fundamental reinforcement in Raposa’s ranking against Boca Juniors in the Copa Sudamericana, started the match on the bench.
Coach Fernando Seabra clarified the decision. He, moreover, explained that the player is starting the season and needs a gradual insertion into the matches.
“Walace is a very important and experienced player. He has already played a 92-minute match against Boca Juniors and, a week later, he played about 80 minutes. We must give him an initial progression of at least three games, giving him the time he needs to recover,” Seabra said.
In fact, he also detailed the minute control strategy:
“My idea was for him to come on as a substitute in Sunday’s game, to have a better control of the time on the pitch. If we start with him, it will be difficult to control the minutes. When he comes on as a substitute, we will be able to manage the playing time better. Sometimes the circumstances of the match can prevent you from coming on.”
Expectations for the next match
The tendency, after all, is for Walace to start in the next match against Internacional, this Wednesday (28), at the Mineirão, in a late clash in the Brazilian championship.
“We want to make sure he has a proper recovery and is ready to play safely in the next game. From this third game onwards I think he will be ready to play more frequently, even in a routine of games every three or four days.” “, concluded the coach.
