Bahia fell in the group stage of the Copa do Nordeste and did not advance to the quarterfinals, but Renato Paiva sent a message on the subject
Renato Paiva parted with the cast of bahia from the Northeast Cup during the night of last Wednesday, the 22nd, when he won the CRB by 3 to 0. The game was somewhat nostalgic, and the coach opened the game in relation to his controversial decisions during that early 2023. He responded to the cries of “donkey” and tried to justify his choices by rotating the team to the maximum .
“In Brazil the coach is called a donkey by many people. Speaking of football, the coach is stupid, the doctor is smart, the journalist is smart. Those who work in this life have to make decisions based on analysis. There were four games in ten days. In the first three (Vitória, Camboriú and Itabuna) we played practically with the same players“, said the coach of Bahia about the filming of the cast.
“If I played with them in all four games, the risk of injury would be tremendous. If I had won the game against Fluminense, arrived with players eliminated against Itabuna and was eliminated, I would be stupid. When I make decisions it is based on my knowledge and analysis of the group. That was my decision, to take a risk with a competitive team against Fluminense. I know we should have won, but nothing guarantees me that with other players we would have won“, continued.
Renato Paiva, on his birthday, did not hide his frustration at having been eliminated in the Copa do Nordeste. The technician revealed that he has a debt with the Bahia fan and made a promise to all tricolors. According to the coach, the Bahian team will come back strong for 2024 and he will try his best to put the club back on the title route.
“I am sad and leave here a promise. With this reinforced squad and a season of work, we owe our fans a Copa do Nordeste. I promise that we will give back this Northeast Cup. At least be competitive and qualify. Here is my debt“, finished.
