Coach António Oliveira gave a press conference at the end of the match and relativized the negative series experienced by Rubro-Negro. “It’s the same impact as when we had consecutive victories. Of course, nobody likes to lose, but this is part of the process. The situation here was that we started the season (season) in an extraordinary way, that nobody can erase, with several records that we have broken. Evidently we don’t live by records. My teams and I will always fight for titles and it is with this objective that I am here”, emphasized the coach.
The challenge of showing reaction is launched by the coach himself, for the match against the LDU, which takes place at the Arena da Baixada, next Thursday (19), a duel that will decide a place in the semifinals of the Copa Sudamericana. In the first match, Athletico lost to the Ecuadorian team 1-0, in Quito.
“The team, on Thursday, will certainly respond to the image according to what the club is and the talent and quality of the players. It’s beautiful to be in every competition, but there would come a time when we would pay a price. It’s one thing to have full weeks to be able to work. Another thing is to be in all competitions, we had this competence to be in them”, declared António Oliveira.
