Coach says Corinthians striker cannot have space
By From the team at Flamengo's official website - in
Corinthians' star forward, who is Flamengo's opponent in the penultimate round of the Brazilian Championship, is a cause for concern. According to coach Andrade, the Corinthians number 9 will deserve special attention if he plays at Brinco de Ouro da Princesa in Campinas, the venue for the next match. "We can't give him any space," the coach emphasized in an interview with the official website during the opening of the FlaConcept store.
Andrade said he was pleased with the performance of Toró, the natural replacement for midfielder Maldonado, who was injured in a friendly with the Chilean national team last week. "He's a player I have complete confidence in. From the first moment, I knew he would perform perfectly."
For Andrade, the adrenaline of the game may have been one of the factors that influenced the team's performance. "This kind of anxiety happens even to older players." The key, he says, is to remain calm. "You can't get carried away, let anxiety get in the way. We have to play the way we've been playing."
