The coach sees the match with Cuiabá as an ideal opportunity for the Tricolore to escape relegation, but preaches caution
Fluminense was relieved with a 1-1 draw against Atletico, this Sunday (01/12), at the Ligga Arena, in a duel for the 36th round of the Brazilian championship. This was because the Cariocas chased the goal, wasting a penalty on Árias, but the Colombian himself managed to score a goal saved in the second half. In this way their result and also Bragantino’s draw allowed them to stay out of the relegation zone. As well as guaranteeing an advantage to the Z4’s first competitor.
Coach Mano Menezes made an optimistic speech after the away draw against Furacão. In fact he was satisfied with the attitude of his players.
“All matches are decisive and what makes me happiest today is the team’s behavior compared to a decisive match, having conceded a goal with the first ball of the match, which created more difficulties. But the team had a lot of personality, they played more than Atletico, in my humble opinion, they had the maximum penalty, they lost, which increased this mental condition even more, they came back in the second half, they did well, they equalised,” he argued the coach of Fluminense.
“I think it was a good match, both teams tried to win until the end and from here we took an important point, which gives us the opportunity to win in the next match, almost defining this final situation of the Brazilian championship”, added the commander.
Fluminense can guarantee to stay in the next round
The Tricolore has the chance to ensure continuity in Serie A in the penultimate round of the tournament. To achieve this, in addition to beating Cuiabá, we must hope that Bragantino and Criciúma stumble. Their next opponent, Dourado, has already had their relegation confirmed, although Mano stresses the need for caution.
“It’s not easy for anyone, we saw Vasco play a difficult match against Atlético-GO, already relegated, Cuiabá play a similar match against Bahia. We must respect everyone and do our part well. This is what I stand for working with players these days There is no point in looking to the side, there is no point in anything other than the part where we can interfere”, explained the coach.
“This was the most important part of the message we left to our fans today. A behavior that allows us to get here in front and ask our fans to be at the Maracanã on Thursday to support us, in the same way they supported the fans of ‘Atletico We know today that this is decisive. We needed this behavior to look at our fans and ask them to go to the Maracanã on Thursday,” added the coach.
“A golden opportunity”
Subsequently, the commander emphasized that Tricolor das Laranjeiras will have an excellent opportunity to end their suffering in the fight against relegation.
“Experience teaches us that the last stretch of the championship is tough for everyone. So there isn’t an opponent to whom you say: ‘Not this one’. There is rarely one who doesn’t have a lot of competition. The frustration of leaving sometimes escaping the result, without obtaining a victory, it seems to me that he followed the two teams, Atletico and Fluminense. If we calculate the losses of points in the last minutes of the game, there are many points in favor of not having gray hair and standing at that moment we didn’t do it, however different We have to do it now, golden opportunity, we are bringing home the conditions to achieve a victory. It will not be easy to build it, but we are stronger than two weeks ago to do what we have to do, “concluded Mano. .
The draw left Cariocas in 16th place, one above the relegation zone, with 40 points. The team returns to the field next Thursday (05/12). On that occasion there will be a clash with Cuiabá, at the Maracanã. The opponent, in fact, has already had confirmation of relegation. In short, it represents an excellent opportunity to win and stay in Serie A.
