In the middle of the press conference, Felipão was asked about the 15% success rate in the Galo. There are nine matches, with five defeats and four draws, in addition to the drop in the Brazilian table (from fourth to 13th place since the arrival of the coach). He answered the question and joked:

– In the table (it fell), because it does not win. The coach? It’s because the technician is bad. Is that what you meant? – asked the journalist.

Earlier, in the second question of the press conference, Felipão was asked about the organization of the team on the field against Palmeiras.

– An organized team? Is my team disorganized? Oh, today he went? So, you’re answering… I don’t have any time to talk to you (when the team will be organized) – replied the coach.

Felipão was also asked about the danger of relegation in the Brazilian Championship and the percentage of his work income, with 15%, that would be from a “relegated team”.

– It will be then. If that’s the campaign. For now, we are not relegated. But it probably will be (downgraded). The group has been working, it has done its best. And I haven’t been able to, I haven’t been able to win. They feel what I feel. Let’s work things out for the best. If it’s not for the best, it’s for the direction you’re putting it.

Luiz Felipe Scolari kept the hope of being able to solve the situation in the Atlético-MG. In some answers, he said that the solution is work.

– Work that’s what we have to do. Chat with our staff, show details and game situations. Palmeiras has an advantage, but nothing has been decided. We have 90 minutes to play. And we know that we have conditions that, with difficulties, we have the capacity to classify. This is our job, the players, to dedicate yes, as they are doing so that this phase is overcome.

Felipão believes he has the capacity to solve the situation. According to him, the experience he has in football allows him to make changes. However, he admitted that the work has not paid off.

– I’ll do what I’ve always done. If in 50 years of football, between player and coach, I haven’t learned to deal with this situation, it’s better to have ended my career. I know how to do. I have experience to do and I will do my best to show the group details that we can correct and overcome so that we can win. Trainings are given according to our games and opponent teams. We plan and pass it on to him, we explain the reason for the training. We didn’t get the result, but we have to do what we’ve always done with dedication, work, so that we receive from the group, as we have been receiving, that we are trying.
