Rubro-negro from Bahia added three more points after Neris and Alerrandro scored Leão’s goals in this Saturday’s match (26)

After Vitória beat Fluminense 2-1 at Barradão, coach Thiago Carpini held a press conference at Barradão and spoke about Leão’s recovery in the Brazilian Championship, in addition to reinforcing his task as the club’s coach. This Saturday (26), the red and black team left the field with three points after Neris and Alerrandro scored the goals.

Leão’s commander started the press conference by commenting on Vitória’s way of playing. Asked on other occasions about the style of play not corresponding to the coach’s preference, Carpini never hid that he was dealing with what he had in hand. This Saturday (26), however, the coach reaffirmed his statements asking for reinforcements, but made it clear that he did not stop establishing his mark in Leão.

“I’ve never stopped putting forward my ideas, what I believe in. I’m not afraid to do what I think. I’m very confident in my work. I don’t always get it right, I make a lot of mistakes, but I improve with the opportunities. The proposals we make In terms of ideas and behaviors, athletes are starting to see that they work. I still don’t have all the alternatives for the ideas I believe in, but I did what was possible for the best teams in the return. had the reinforcements before. Nobody liked it two months ago. I try to get the best out of each athlete”, he began.

Facing the Rio tricolor, Vitória fans saw two different halves from the stands. While the home team dominated the first half, the return of the break served as a key turning point for Fluminense to recover in the match and reach a draw. In the end, Alerrandro scored from the penalty spot and gave the result to the Bahian club. Carpini sees the drop in performance in the second half as normal, but warns that it is necessary to maintain consistency in the final stretch of the competition.

“No matter how much we play different halves, that’s normal. We can’t maintain 90 minutes of what we did in the first half. At times we have to have control of the game. We had good behavior against Atlético-MG, Palmeiras, Fluminense, at Maracanã. Away games. I think the behavior is well ingrained in the players (…) In this final stretch, the competition doesn’t allow us to waver, so I hope it’s this level of competition for more”, said the message.

Another point highlighted by the Vitória coach was his role as a coach in “cutting corners”, both collectively and individually. “The guys train a lot. The week is very intense. I’m a very detail-oriented, perfectionist professional. It bothers me when things are out of my control, out of what I agreed on. So it’s the details, not only of my work, but of the whole the commission. That’s what motivates us, I think it’s very small to pass into a person’s life and leave nothing behind. I take a lot of positive things with me, I learn a lot from them. Improving the athlete is also part of the professional, the coach”, he confessed. .

With the result 2-1, Vitória reached 35 points and spent another round outside the feared relegation zone. Now, Leão will have a week of rest before traveling to the South, where they will have a direct confrontation against Athletico-PR next Saturday (2). The clash, valid for the 32nd round of the Brazilian Championship, takes place at the Ligga Arena, starting at 6:30 pm.
