The face of Rogério Ceni at the press conference after the elimination of Flamengo from the Libertadores said it all. After the fall against Racing, the coach went to explain, but then closed with the group in the Maracanã locker room. There was a prayer, and some players blamed him, despite the wake and closed faces.
Rodrigo Caio, Willian Arão, Diego Alves and Filipe Luis were some of the team leaders who said a few words asking the group to turn the tables to win the Brazilian Championship. The players bet on the good work that Rogério Ceni has developed in training. No leader spoke.
At the press conference, the coach gave the message again, highlighting the commitment of the players.
– I am very happy to work in a group like this. Today I have been here for 21 days, I know what I worked since 112, 14 hours, trying to do, think and do training so that this team is better and better. I only have good things to say about these athletes, but there is no way to control the result – said Ceni.
Diego Ribas, who entered at the end of the match, also denied that the group had lost its charm.
– The winning spirit was not lost, when it is eliminated of course that a mistake was made, but a team that won everything it won, what happened is on the shelf, we must continue to evolve, work, what we did this week and that’s it . looking for results – completed.
Before the decisive games of the Libertadores, Ceni has tried from the debut to work on the emotional side of the team. In the first match with São Paulo for the Copa do Brasil, he had already done a more motivating job, since there was no time to train.
After the elimination, the delegation left through an alternative gate amid protests at the stadium gate from some fans. The board, the coaching staff and the players went down a path. But first, the technician wanted to maintain the unity of the group and tried to contain the shock detected since his arrival. The squad will be presented again this Wednesday for Saturday’s game against Botafogo.
