Coach Cuca made public this Wednesday (4th) the defeat of Santos against Ceará 1-0 at the Arena Castelão, which cost the elimination of the round of 16 of the Brazil Cup. The Peixe coach freed the youth from the guilt of the knockout competition crash and threw it on himself, who is “the one who puts them on the field.”
“They gave everything they could. We are not going to blame anyone. If there is a greater culprit, I am the one who put them on the field,” Cuca said at a press conference after the setback.
“It brings a shock if you find half a dozen guilty, criticize children or adults. That will not happen. The greatness of the human being is knowing how to lose. We are pissed, I hate losing, but it is part of life. Maturation will come with this defeat . “, completed.
Cuca also took the opportunity to comment on Santos’ financial troubles. According to President Orlando Rollo himself, the team had R $ 3.3 million in prizes for the passage to the quarterfinals to help pay the salaries for the month of November.
“We can’t do that. It’s not fair. Playing the kids with the responsibility of winning to take the salary in their wallets. The images have been out of date for a while and we have not complained,” he said.
“It was part of going through our planning. If we had an advantage at home, it would be better. We try to win and I will not find fault, much less think that we will not receive because we have not passed the stage. If we do not receive, we close with him. Group in the same way. We are not thinking about money. We were thinking about winning. It serves as a lesson for the future. We have Liberators in 15 days “, concluded the coach.
Now, Santos turns his attention to the Brazilian Championship. On Sunday (08), at 6.15pm (from Brasilia), the São Paulo club goes to Bragança Paulista to face Red Bull Bragantino, for the 20th day of the tournament.
