After a draw at home, the International was eliminated for the Rosario Central last Tuesday, 23, for the Copa Sul-Americana. In his second game in charge of the team, Roger Machado explained the difficulties the team faced during the 90 minutes of the decision, and defended the squad from the criticism they received.
“It’s painful for everyone. A coach who arrives at the moment of decision, in turmoil, is never good. From an emotional point of view, the full stadium allowed us to compete with the opponent. There was depth in the final third, which occurred until the goal, in the opponent’s only opportunity. From that point on, the team felt emotionally and took steps back.“, revealed the coach.

Next came the defense of his new players, who he has been in charge of for about a week. According to Roger, there is a lot of work to be done to improve, but there is no lack of commitment from the squad, which has not won a match in the season for nine consecutive matches, two of which were with the new manager.
“I’ve been at the club for a week now and I can say with 100% certainty that what the athletes have no shortage of is interest in making things happen. Everyone is motivated to make Inter win. There is no lack of interest. The athletes are very motivated. When they don’t win, the theory multiplies. It’s looking for a change in the coach, in the management. In the end, it stops with the player and the interest in being in a certain place or not.“, he completed.
With the elimination in the continental tournament, Internacional now only sees the Brasileirão remaining in its calendar until the end of the season. Currently the team appears on the second page of the table, and faces Bahiaaway from home, next Saturday, 27th, looking to rehabilitate with victories as quickly as possible.
