After stumbling in the Series B round, Cruzeiro saw the coach recognize that things did not go as expected, but he was praised for the delivery
In the Serie B round, the cruise ended up stumbling, but secured a 1-1 draw against Criciúma and missed the chance to get even closer to returning to the top flight. After the game, the coach Paulo Pezzolano acknowledged that the team did not show everything it could and made a point of pointing out some nervousness among the players.
In Pezzolano’s view, Raposa cannot understand the chance to return to the Brazilian football elite as a pressure to achieve the result anyway. During the press conference, the Uruguayan made an important warning so that Cruzeiro can keep the pace and confirm the return to Serie A in a natural and very calm way.
“The afternoon was not very good for us. Then there’s the nervousness, it’s closer, then the nervousness of wanting to win the game in the first ball begins, fast and we forget that the game has 100 minutes. What I can highlight is the courage and heart of the players. This game was not easy and Cruzeiro until the last minute, until the last second, kept trying to attack. Congratulations to the players“, said.
We have to lower the anxiety a little. Today we had to win, but sometimes anxiety plays against it. We have to lower the anxiety and know that we are going to rise, yes, we are convinced, close, but it will come when it has to come“, added the Cruzeiro coach.
