+ With three headed goals, CSA beats Cruzeiro and reacts in Serie B

– We had a very good conversation at the conference, we showed the importance of playing against a great team, like Cruzeiro, but stressed that It would be very important for the team to be more aggressive when scoring. So we tried to be more aggressive in the marking, we managed to close the spaces in the middle and we left with this great victory – explained Adriano, who will pass the position to coach Mozart Santos next Monday.

Acting in office, the coach commented on the importance of the victory for his career.

– It is very important (this result for me), especially the support of the board in my work. In the match against Freipaulistano I was in the stands cheering. God does tremendous things and today I led the professional team against Cruzeiro. The group welcomed the idea of ​​my participation, the team was very tough and I asked them to play with joy. That was the main thing for us to leave with this great victory.

Once again, CSA concedes a goal in Serie B. Adriano Rodrigues spoke of how he tried to neutralize his rival to leave the field without leaking.

– We did our best to position the team, we knew we had little time to work, we also knew about the strength of the Cruzeiro on the sides, so we tried to lower the lines a bit … Unfortunately, it was a wrong decision there. at the start (goal by Matheus Pereira), but we have been training a lot to correct those mistakes that occurred in the last games.

• How did you configure the positioning?

– We knew about the quality of the Cruzeiro team, so we tried to congest the environment and make the team aggressive. In other games, the people after the loss was null. So I tried to pass them to have an effective post-loss of the ball, make more fouls in the opposite field and hold this ball as much as possible in the attack field.

“I lowered the lines to avoid the long balls at the ends of the Cruzeiro and thank God it worked and we came out with this great victory.”

• Where did the CSA get the strength to finish the quick seven games?

– I think the group has quality, and the main factor was the strong marking, playing for each other, looking for that filling of spaces, which was not present in other games and the post-defeat pressure not to let Cruzeiro play quality .

• Is the cast physically ill?

– The team has shown that it is not physically bad. The main factor of the victory was that we fit the lines, they were a bit distant and, therefore, in other games, we had more wear. So we tried to do another positioning, mainly filling the midfield to have this control of the ball. We had little time with the ball in the last third of the field and now we have improved this work to have more possession of the ball and thus not wear the team too much.
