Fernando Diniztechnician at Fluminensewas uncomfortable with a question asked at a press conference after the 1-0 victory over cruisein the 24th round of the Brasileirão 2023. One of the reporters asked whether the flaws in Tricolor’s defensive system worried the commander, who decided to hit back in a more forceful way.
“The team was not fragile defensively. Cruzeiro created almost nothing, I don’t know why you asked that question, honestly. You always ask a question like that, then you think I have something against you.”, said Diniz. The coach also highlighted that each game presents a different scenario.
“What does it have to do with [os quatro gols do Vasco] with today? How many chances did Cruzeiro create today? Do you think Cruzeiro is nobody? They made three Santos in village. Would it only be good defensively if there was no chance of them?”replied Diniz. “Okay, I answered your question, the team wasn’t bad defensively, quite the opposite. It was because of the defense that we managed to win 1-0.”
The result was important for the Fluminense, which regained its place in the G4 of the competition.
