Alan Patrick gave a press conference on Tuesday afternoon (24), in the press room at the George Helal Training Center. Among the various topics covered, the midfielder commented on the need for a victory against Chapecoense and the health of coach Muricy Ramalho.

We're coming off a losing streak, and everyone is upset about it. We'll be playing at home, against an opponent coming off a win. We know it will be a tough match, but we're fully capable of putting in a good performance. If we enter with determination, we can get a good result.

When the ball rolls, you rarely think about the off-field. We're aware of the situation, we're aware of what's happening. As I said, we're all uncomfortable with this situation, but it's up to us to turn it around. We have to join forces to try to reverse this situation.

It's a little different, but when it comes to health, you have to be more concerned. We respect that. We know he's a guy who lives the club intensely. We want the best for Muricy, we hope he recovers well and doesn't have any more problems. We'll wait and see what happens, but we hope for his return. 

There are positives to be had, yes. We won the first match, and in the second, we played well. I think a draw would be a fairer result, as Flamengo played well. Tomorrow will be another tough match, and the Brazilian Championship demands consistency. We need to go in focused, and we're counting on the fans' support to secure this victory.

I think it's lacking a bit, yes. Especially when we have scoring opportunities. We need to be composed to be able to finish in the best way, especially in this situation, needing results. We need to be calm so that when we have opportunities, we can score.

Jayme made the changes to adapt to the game against Grêmio. We needed to protect ourselves more and be more confident in midfield, especially playing at their home ground. But the main point is that we're seeking balance in our game, trying to play closer together. Jayme has been placing great emphasis on this aspect.
