Check out the main topics of the press conference:

Movement

I usually ask the team, especially the four men up front, to move around a lot, be very flexible, and not allow the opponent to set up their marking. They are skillful, fast, and intelligent players. They have a lot of freedom to move around.

Is the goal G4?

It always has been. But now we've gotten closer. With the winning streak, our chances have increased enough for us to have the confidence to pursue qualification. The players are already used to this and we know how we need to proceed. Everyone has their head in the right place, they know our journey is long. Exaggeration or euphoria can destabilize us. Whenever a game ends in this situation, I immediately address the players with this objective in mind. They know they need to maintain stability so we can continue scoring points.

embezzlement

It was a shame that it happened. We can't choose, we can only lament the loss of so many at once. Managing the situation gradually would have been easier. Not because of the quality, as we have players in the squad capable of replacing them well, but because of the quantity. We will try, in the three days we have until the game, to organize things in a way that the team doesn't feel these losses so much.

Kayke

He has gradually improved throughout the three games he started. Today, he was tactically better, moving in a way that helped the team. He showed up when we needed to have the ball in the opponent's half. His progress has been very good, and I believe that by getting more used to playing with his teammates, he can grow even more.

100% in Fla-Flus

I've been passionate about the Fla-Flu derby since I was a fan. I've been to many of these matches, and it's a colorful, exciting celebration with strong participation from both fan groups. Winning is a huge satisfaction, and I was very happy about it.
