Bahia Notícias / Sports / EC Bahia / After a draw, Roger talks about Marco Antônio and leaves Bahia’s future in doubt

A few days after criticizing the lack of professionalism of midfielder Marco Antônio, coach Roger Machado saw the player be favorable to Bahia on Saturday (29), in Pituaçu, for Brasileirão. After the game, the coach was asked about the athlete and the answer was that the young athlete managed to get on the axles in a short time to be reinstated.

“I wish Marco could answer. In a week he reconditioned himself and lost weight because he was not in the shape of a professional. The proof that he can be useful is that at the first opportunity he went out onto the field. I have nothing personal against anyone. Sportsman and a lot. less in relation to Marco, who since last year has required him to be more professional. He was reconditioned and of course he was reinstated. In a week he has changed a lot, “he said.

For the match, Roger opted for Gregore instead of Ronaldo. During the match, jersey 26 received a yellow card and is suspended. With that, in the next game, neither he nor Ronaldo – who belongs to Flamengo – will be able to be on the field. The coach explained his choice and questioned his future at the club due to the pressure caused by the poor results.

“At the moment that we are passing, I use the criterion of thinking game by game. I do not think about the strategy of two games. From the moment we are living, I do not know if I will be here,” he said.

Roger said he was not satisfied with the draw, but pointed out that being beaten at home would be an injustice. In his opinion, the Steel Squadron made a game to score three points.

“We were not satisfied, but it would be unfair if they defeated us in today’s game for the first time and a good part of the second we did. In the game against São Paulo we were frustrated because we scored the goal at the end of the game and today we celebrate because it was a game that we produce enough to win. Leaving points at home is not good, but in the context of the game we add points “, he concluded.

With the tie, Bahia reached eight points and now occupies the seventh position in the national competition.
