CHANNEL – ATHLETISTIC
“Diniz is a very good coach, he has a lot of passing volume, he has a lot of smart players. We tried to make a game more aggressive, more intense, more dynamic, more vertical. He likes to have more of the ball and to have that patience. That’s the difference between one and the other“, commented the coach before the confrontation.
In addition, the coach revealed that he is aware that he will not have many opportunities to score in this knockout match, especially playing away from home. Highlighting the individual capacity of the Laranjeiras team, Pezzolano made a point of clarifying that the Copa do Brasil is not so important for Cabuloso, which focuses on access.
“He has players of great quality today, we know what we’re going to face. But we have to enjoy every move. We won’t have a lot of scoring opportunities. We have to see that for Cruzeiro this game is not the most important. I know Cruzeiro wants to win, but today’s reality is different. But you also have to know the value of Cruzeiro, which is very fierce on the field. My focus personally is access. Doesn’t mean let’s go play, let’s play“, commented.
Thursday we have a great challenge for the Copa do Brasil! 👊🦊
Total focus on getting a good result in the first leg, which is away from home.
LET’S GO TOGETHER!
