— Before we went onto the field, I gathered the group and said: “I feel like you’re not focused on the job.” I said that if we went in like that, the worst could happen. And unfortunately, it did. At halftime, I repeated the message: I asked them to go back in sharp, focused. We returned to the game and immediately conceded another goal. That compromises any tactical scheme — emphasized the coach.Fluminense conceded two goals in just four minutes and had to chase the result, but could not react against their opponent. Renato reinforced that, despite the guidance from the coaching staff, the initial lack of attention proved costly.— We try to warn, to show what can happen. But we didn’t go in as focused as we needed to. The price was high — he concluded.Now, Flu shifts its focus to the Copa do Brasil. Their next match will be on Thursday at 7:30 p.m. against Bahia, at Arena Fonte Nova, in the first leg of the quarterfinals.
