Fortaleza went to Rio de Janeiro ready to beat Flamengo, current Brazilian champion, in the middle of Maracana. The analysis is carried out by Leão coach Rogério Ceni, who believes that the team could have come out with the positive result for the football presented on the field, praised by Rubro-Negro coach, Domènec Torrent, after 2 to 1 defeat.
– You came to greet me after the game, which is natural between two coaches. He even pointed out that he liked the football that Fortaleza played a lot, but (he speaks) protocol. Also before the game I wished him luck, because the commitment he has, we know it is very demanding, but protocol, respect and education exist between both parties – Ceni declared at a post-match press conference.

With a lineup considered mixed on the field, Fortaleza managed to balance the game, but felt the physical part mainly in the second half. In Rogério Ceni’s opinion, there was the entry of players like Romarinho so that Tricolor could score the second goal and leave with the victory, which ended up not happening.
– Romarinho’s entry is because I thought he could play today and Wednesday. We saw that the first half ended in a 1-1 draw, it was an even game, except for the first six minutes, in which we were unrecognizable until we scored the goal. There was an extra sprinter to try and win the match at the end because it was entirely possible to win the match because Flamengo was more exhausted. In the last minutes, we ended up with an extra player – lamented the commander Leonino.
See other points from Rogério Ceni’s press conference:
– We did not come here to seek a tie. When the game is 1 to 1 and you see that you are well, comfortable in the game, you see that you enter to win. It’s not because it’s Flamengo or another team. If the game is designed differently in the first half, where we had some changes due to fatigue and cards and it was designed 1 to 1, you have to take this opportunity to try to beat the opponent and score the second goal. The substitutions were to score the second goal. Too bad that on the side that we suffered the second goal we lost the ball.
– The grass is not that good, it is more or less like the Castelão, with many holes, but if I say that it hampered Fortaleza, I would not be sincere. The more talent you have, the better grass will help the team in that case. Fortaleza likes possession, but we knew that today we would play with less possession than Flamengo.

– Good performance from Ronald. Little by little we got to know the athlete, as much as possible, he played well, he felt the game. Relatively positive evaluation. As long as he had legs and breath, he played well.
Press and fan reviews
– I read very little, I work and I don’t have time to read. I work the tactical part, I watch videos and games. Criticism starts or not, in any public profession, you are subject to criticism, but since I work a lot, I have little time for this kind of useless reading.
