"We want to perform well every day, but today didn't work out. We had very low performance, and it's difficult to win a match like that. Defensively, we were there, but the lack of offense took away our confidence. Congratulations to the Pinheiros team, who knew how to take advantage of that. Today we were far below our potential. I don't blame fatigue; they played a good match and took us out of our comfort zone. Now it's time to watch the video and prepare for the match against Corinthians. We have to do everything we can to win this classic. The defeat doesn't take away our confidence for Saturday. Now the focus is on winning," said Marquinhos.

"Now it's more about talking, watching videos, and seeing what we did wrong. Offensively, we weren't close to what we have been, so we need to correct these details to improve our performance. We need to talk a lot, as we don't have much time to train. We'll adapt to Corinthians as quickly as possible," analyzed Gustavinho.

Fla returns to Arena Carioca next Saturday (3), at 14 pm, against Corinthians. The match will be broadcast by Band.
