This Sunday (3), Flamengo suffered a setback against Corinthians at their rival's home. After the defeat, interim coach Zé Ricardo spoke to the press. 

Check out the main excerpts from Zé Ricardo's press conference:


Result
Corinthians took advantage of their opportunities, we had fewer and failed to capitalize on them. Let's see where we can improve and where we can avoid making any more mistakes to keep moving forward. The team lost control of the match, gave space to Corinthians, and unfortunately, the cruel result occurred.

Game situations
Arão had a chance just before, which Cássio saved. We believed we could carry the game to the end, with a chance of winning. Corinthians is a very strong team, with very strong players.

Reaction 
Competition requires us to be strong in all aspects, our psychology has to be strong.

Defender
It's been performing well. It's not a one-match decision that will determine the outcome. Until the start of the game, we had the second-best defense in the competition. We were on the rise. We need to erase the result and learn the lessons to move forward.
