After a draw, Ceni plans to meet Sampaoli again and regrets the difficulty of hiring | strength

– Always balanced. Last year was perhaps one of the best games we played in Brasileiro, that 2 to 1, I was lucky enough to play against Sampaoli, when I was in Cruzeiro, we made 2 to 0 in Santos. Now, let’s go to another duel. Of course, Atlético-MG is a team that invested a lot of money, made a practically new team. There is a larger squad than ours, but we are going to make a team that can compete against a very intense style of play all the time, especially that there is only one competition to play, while we have Cearense, Brasileiro and Copa Brasil – the tricolor commander pointed out.

With a lean squad (Fortaleza has 28 players at its disposal), Tricolor has struggled to do the traditional rotation without wearing down the players with the competition marathon. Rogério Ceni affirmed that the club has been trying to reinforce the sequence of matches, but that it has not had a positive result.

– We need to talk, see the address. We are trying to sign, we are not capable of doing these games and we cannot lose injured players. Sometimes people don’t understand, but we can’t lose athletes through injury, we have to keep this group going. If one or two players break, it will be in a row because they will be forced – emphasized Ceni.

See other points from Rogério Ceni’s press conference:

– Roger came in after a long time without playing, I think he played a good game. Tinga with Gabriel is a constant exchange that we do. Bruno (Melo) started the last game, but due to the injury he had to start on the bench. We only had two defenders in playing condition: Roger and Paulão. Marlon expected better defensive consistency because he is the side that attacks Atlético-GO the most. We joined Yuri because Osvaldo had already felt in the last game. We prefer to make sure we don’t lose for the next games.

Ronald and attempted victory

– Ronald is a slightly more technical player. He is a second midfielder, he likes to play between feet, he has the technique to develop the game. Marlon may be (a player) more physical than him, but we needed someone who needed to build plays. Atlético lowered the lines. Today we did everything we could to develop ourselves in a game.

Performance by Osvaldo and Fragapane

– Osvaldo and Fragapane did not enter the game so well, they did not manage to make many individual plays. There are two players who have the characteristic of one-on-one disputes, today they did not have it, and that happens. Sometimes you don’t play the game that well.
