After the 0-2 defeat at home to Santos, in the eighteenth round of the Brazilian League, the fourth in a row, Portuguese coach Luis Castro took charge.
“If you ask me whether the team played well or badly, I would say they played well. You don’t deserve to lose. He had 23 away shots, 12 inside the area, and eight chances to score. So, I have to say that all building plays. , The team scored goals, couldn’t finish. Yes, we lost four games in a row, but I want to take responsibility for my team and put it on myself. I won’t let them kill the players on my team, because I have few,” he began.
Not wanting to make excuses for the result, the coach questioned some of the judging team’s decisions: “Why did the assistant consider a mistake when the referee had a vision of the play and decided not to score. [referindo-se ao lance do primeiro golo do Santos]? And why did the referee stop the match when Lucas Fernandez had the opportunity to attack? [não tendo aplicado a lei da vantagem]? When we were top of the game, we conceded the second goal, however, the team always struggled to score.”
And the stove entered the field again, Saturday, at the Nilton Santos Stadium, to face Atletico Paranines player Luiz Felipe Scolari, who is in fourth place (31 points).
