In 21 games this year, Flamengo conceded 28 goals. The average isn't exactly alarming, but the way some of these goals found the net is concerning for Flamengo coach Andrade. The Flamengo manager called for greater attention to his defense in the upcoming matches of the season.
For the coach, the team conceded some silly goals in 2010, and this cannot be repeated in the decisive moments of the competitions.
"We conceded silly goals in some games. We know that when that happens, it's difficult to reverse. We were managing, but one day, we were going to fail; and today was that day," he said.
One example cited by the Flamengo manager was what happened in the final minute of the match against Universidad de Chile at the Maracanã. Flamengo was leading the game 2-1, but conceded an equalizer in the 47th minute of the second half. The match against the same "La U" in Santiago was also recalled by Andrade.
"The unexpected happened. In football, things are inexplicable. In the game against Universidad de Chile in Santiago, we ended up taking it easy and conceded the second goal. In the last game, we conceded a goal in the last minute, due to a lack of attention, and as a result, our planning ended up being compromised," he added.
