Autuori criticizes the person in charge of the calendar after the classification of Botafogo: “Total neglect with the professionals” | boot

– Some clubs have problems at the last minute due to Covid-19 and the number of players and staff and personnel who hire Covid-19 and cannot develop their work. So what justice will this ultimately be? Is it so difficult to have this logic of thought? But those responsible have a total disregard for professionals. It means putting them in the sand, letting themselves fight and commenting on the good side of their homes with television and the professionals who come. Then they are criticized for this and that.

The tie showed some problems in the submissions of the autuori team, which little threatened the goal of Fernando Miguel. When asked, the coach said he was unable to coach the team due to the schedule.

– We do not work, we only have the day before the game, the game, the recovery, the day before the game and the game. This is the routine of all clubs at the moment. The professionals have to join this game, they play well and it is impossible to have good games in general terms, I am not talking about the game today. But this is an easy analysis to do.

– “But everyone knew about the pandemic.” Exactly, everyone knew it, that’s why they had to think of a different model than the 38 days. It’s raining in the wet. You have already hurt 2020, because it is a historic year, and in the same way you will hurt 2021. What is the motivation that will end the Brazilian and the State will begin? Nobody says that.

Botafogo’s main mission tonight was to go through the stage. Autuori himself recognized ranking as the team’s priority at this time. According to him, it is the economic reality of the club that forces Bota to think first about the best prize, even if he ends up promising the money.

– The objective was to pass this phase. Most of the Brazilian clubs, with the values ​​generated by the Copa do Brasil, since they are going through economic difficulties, these values ​​are very important and it was important to pass. I don’t know if they will have access to these values ​​or not (because of the promises), but the important thing was to enter the other phase and that was achieved with two 180-minute games. We managed to win in the first game and today we do not suffer.

TO give, Paulo Autuori praised the match referee, led by Raphael Claus. The coach, who has criticized on other occasions, has highlighted the level of the referee tonight.

– I would like to highlight the quality of Raphael Claus. A quality referee does not need to have VAR, he does not stop the game all the time. A very high level referee, and anyone is comfortable with his category.

Lack of aim in attack

– Everything in offensive terms is more complex and has to do with the freshness and quality of the players. As it is more complex, we need to work and we do not work. He’s only in chat. When I say us, I don’t mean Botafogo, but players and coaches from the clubs. And people want to play. There are people who have been practicing players and have no idea, at this point, what this terrible effort is being made of. Today we had Rhuan who had a problem that I don’t know what it is.

– Our concern is to think about recovering, so it is the eve of the game, the trip and the game. What I am going to do? We want Brazilian football to improve, but we forget responsibility and we forget to think that we should all think about improving the show. How? This inhuman form has no form. It is not a justification. But I don’t want to talk about the game, I’m already thinking about the game against Atlético-GO, this is today. Now we have to think about getting these players back. Tomorrow is Friday, Saturday we train and travel. Then play and come back after the game. And so it is the rest of the year.

More complaints to the calendar

– We knew that from September it would not be very easy. You don’t want to demand certain situations. We, in Botafogo, have our peculiarities. There are several players that we lose along the way. The group resents this in some way. Our concern now is to win the next two games and to be in a position more in line with what we try to be as competitors.

– The importance of your question is the following: why was Honda able to make this game? Because you haven’t played the previous game. It only arrived in a few minutes. We have great players in Brazil who are not going to give what is expected. It is not because they do not want to, because it does not have quality, but because they cannot and do not recover completely. The recovery of a player and a team from one game to another depends on four factors: diet, hydration, rest and training. In Brazilian soccer, even without a pandemic, one or two of these aspects are always missing.

Problems with intensity

– People only talk about intensity. You have to have intensity all the time. So intensity plus volume gives us something that we’ve been talking about a lot called “density.” It is impossible that today you see matches in Brazilian soccer with this density. This is very clear. “Ah, but the team fell in the second half.” But of course, any team falls. We are seeing that this is happening a lot in Brazilian soccer with injuries. It is unfair competition.

Problems due to the pandemic

– Many clubs lose players to Covid-19 in the last minute and lose coaches. We knew this was going to happen. The question is: have you considered doing something different to minimize this problem? No. The professionals are played in an arena, they say it is this or that, with coaches who leave without being able to work. I do not understand. Any club that changes coach now, the boy will assume that he will play tomorrow, Wednesday, Saturday … Will the boy train how to put his ideas? Then it doesn’t go well and it goes away. It is an extremely absurd thing.

– I want to congratulate the Botafogo players for the effort made, as well as Vasco, who tried and couldn’t. For us it was essential to pass. Our game, we have been a well organized team in the offensive and defensive aspect. I think we have to improve the decision-making a lot in the last pass, in the last moment, at the time of finishing. Because you believe, you reach the opponent’s danger zone and you need to decide and act better.

Farewell to the coaching position with winning the Brazil Cup

– It is different if you play knockout games and a points race. I think knockout games offer a possibility if you are competitive in the two games that you play. Botafogo was. Something is missing? Missing, enough. I’m sure what we do with the coaching staff.

– I will not be the one to enjoy this job in the future. Things are going to happen, they were supposed to happen, we are going to move towards that very soon because that is what was agreed and we are not going to flee from what was agreed from the beginning. And I mean myself and the management following the work with the Botafogo team.

Sort size

– I think that game could have come out with a bigger advantage. It was not possible, but today the team did well, they did not suffer. Kitten practically did not work and neither did Fernando Miguel. I think that qualification is important for all Brazilians because the values ​​generated by the Copa do Brasil today are very interesting. Most Brazilian clubs regularly face significant financial and economic difficulties, exacerbated this year by the problems caused by the pandemic. Therefore, these are always important values ​​for clubs.

– And for us, of course, it is important to think that in the qualifying rounds you compete in a different way than in a points race. Our goal is to forget about the Brazil Cup and think about Sunday.

– Tomorrow we will recover, Saturday is the eve of the game with a trip, Sunday is a game, we arrive Monday, we recover, Tuesday is the eve of the game and Wednesday has a game. That is the reality of Brazilian soccer today. “Ah, but it’s because of the pandemic.” No, we could have thought better how to minimize these problems. They should have at least considered the possibility of changing the form this year so as not to create these problems that are not only on the field, but outside. It is unfair competition.

Criticism of the possibility of the public returning

– This is a very easy read to do. But I think that the simple thing in Brazilian football is luxury. People don’t like objective and logic. See Rio de Janeiro. What concern does Rio have about being the first to play with the crowd right now? Get to the point of absurdity. Once again. He already did it in the Carioca Championship. I wanted so much to play the Carioca Championship and today Flamengo asks not to play against Palmeiras and wanted to finish the Carioca Championship anyway. And there? Am I thinking and guessing too much?

A more solid Botafogo game?

– I consider the match against Fortaleza very solid, about which few spoke, Corinthians and Atlético-PR. Circumstances are one thing. We made circumstantial mistakes, in occasional mistakes and we paid dearly for those mistakes because we lost very important points that would give us a better situation today.

– Today we had a solid game because it was an independent team organized to play in different ways, either with a line of three or four behind. No matter how we play, we already know how to do the movements when the team does not have the ball. What we need to evolve well, and we need training, something that no Brazilian club has, is the final point since we arrived with good plays, but we have to decide better to be able to finish with more danger and more success.
