After the defeat to Atlético-MG, this Sunday (September 20.09th), at Independência stadium, coach Oswaldo de Oliveira spoke to the press. He talked about the match and the continuation of the championship.

Placar

I think Atlético-MG took advantage of their opportunities, which is where they are very strong. We dominated the first half, creating very good chances. The plays we set up twice were effective; one resulted in a penalty, and the other almost resulted in a goal. But I think Atlético-MG is very strong on set pieces. As they scored goals, they gained more confidence, precisely when they managed to impose themselves on the game. Even so, Flamengo reacted and managed to equalize. It took them a while to react after conceding a goal, but they regained control of the match. I won't talk about the scoreline being a big margin because Atlético-MG is good at that.

Next round

I think you can't predict anything, because the circumstances of any game are sometimes independent of the team's progress. We were winning, then we started losing, and we can get back on track. I have a lot of faith in our week of work to reverse this situation.
