Vitor Pereira admitted the mistakes of Corinthians’ 1-2 defeat against Palmeiras, a match that witnessed an unprecedented duel between the Portuguese coaches, on the other side, Abel Ferreira, but confirmed that his work with the team is less than a month.
The Portuguese coach lost twice in three matches, but two of those were classics – this morning and his first against Sao Paulo.
“Essentially, there were two classic games, one that worked for three days and one for two weeks, against a club that worked for two years. They have two years of work and we have two weeks. It’s not easy to build a playing process, I don’t do miracles, I don’t have a wand,” Vitor Pereira said. Magical, I am not a magician.”
The match was controversial, with two penalties, but Vitter Pereira criticized the referee for allowing Palmeiras to play too hard. “Today we had a stronger and more aggressive opponent than Ponte Preta, a provision that also allowed aggression to be always within its limits,” he said.
“I am not a coach to make many excuses, I am a coach to analyze reality, but we had a hard time understanding spaces, based on the merits of Palmeiras, who put pressure on us, with many individual pressures, on the ball carrier,” he analyzed, emphasizing again a little work time.
“I am not a coach to attribute defeats to individual failures. We win together and lose together. We are building a certain way of playing. The process has to be in terms of quality, that is normal, we have two weeks of work, and this is due to the lack of working time that is normal for The team is not at the level we want it to be. It’s two weeks of work against a team that has had a coach for more than a year. We have to put our feet on the ground, understand our conditions and those of the opposing team.”
