Hey, Dorival!
Preparations were finalized this Thursday morning at Ninho do Urubu and coach Dorival Júnior gave a press conference before the start of activities. The commander spoke about the importance of scoring away from home this Friday (5).
"We have a few rounds ahead of us and two teams with four points above us. We'll work to erase that advantage and with that, we'll focus solely and exclusively on the game against Corinthians. We have to try to get closer as soon as possible," he added.
Dorival also took advantage of his conversation with journalists to highlight the first work he led this week at the training center.
"We had three training sessions. We intensified some important aspects and used repetition in training. I hope we have as few absences as possible for such an important and decisive match. Each round will be a decisive one for us so we can get closer to the leaders."
