Marquinhos Santostechnician of Ceará, was sincere about the triumph obtained by the squad in the round of 16 of the Copa Sudamericana. The commander’s first victory with Vozão was obtained in a comeback in the first leg against The Strongestby 2 to 1. The coach took the opportunity to make an outburst with a tone of relief.

“It was the fifth game in just 14 days. You don’t have time to train, work. Changing the tire while the car is running is more difficult”revealed Marquinhos. “We’re trying to maintain a standard, but it’s not easy. I was distressed, I confess. I know the fans were upset by the classic, but it’s not over yet. It’s having patience that we know what we’re doing”.

CHANNEL – ATHLETISTIC:

Santos added: “The board trusted and we know what is being done internally by the Ceará. This group of athletes is different. I want to try to get the most out of each of the athletes. Of course, winning gives us confidence, but only until the next step.”. Alvinegro’s coach also did not fail to praise his players.

I want to give full credit to the athletes. They’ve been too dedicated. Regardless of the preparation, it’s inhumane to play here. Strategically we prepared the game. First half studied, the goal conceded is a function of the time of the ball, but we had personality and tranquility to follow […]. Ceará has men here, who honor the shirt and want to achieve something great for Vozão”.
