Sincerity marked Abel Braga’s first press conference after his re-command of Inter. Annoyed by Inter’s 1-0 loss to América-MG on Wednesday night in the first leg of the Copa do Brasil quarterfinal, the coach acknowledged that the team deserved a negative result in Beira-Rio But he took responsibility for the failure.
– I speak very calmly. The United States was more likely to do the second than we did the first.
– Abel Braga
During the conversation with the journalists, the coach spoke a lot, with long and explanatory answers about what happened on the field. The little time of work made Abel choose to maintain the standard that Eduardo Coudet left. Even to see merits in what the predecessor built. However, without being able to repeat it, he made himself guilty.
– I’m not exempt from anything. I am responsible for the defeat. I could put the guys I know, make two or three changes. But I have a team in good condition. They told me inside that there are two or three games that don’t go so well. But the time has come. You need to be a manager and manage. How long am I going to give this excuse? The responsibility is mine – declared.

Throughout the explanation, Abelão mentioned that the team was not natural in the first minutes. The position cost Rodolfo’s goal, just 12 minutes into the first half. Behind the scoreboard, he felt Inter with impetus to seek the tie. However, little inspired.
– I thought the team was a bit tense at first, until they conceded the goal. He tried to react, more willingly than headlong. I think we think little of the game. Suddenly, the decision making was not the best. We create little, but we will continue – he assured.
Now, Inter need to win by at least two goals difference to qualify for the semifinals of the Copa do Brasil. If you win on goal difference, the decision will be penalties. The second leg will be played next Wednesday, at 9:30 p.m., in Independência.
Before, however, Colorado returns to focus on the Brasileirão. This Saturday, Abel Braga’s team faces Santos. The duel is scheduled for 16:30 at Vila Belmiro.
