Fagner’s expulsion, the penalty and Palmeiras ‘first goal in the sequence, even at the end of the first half, ended Corinthians’ chances in this Thursday’s classic at Neo Química Arena.
This is the vision of coach Tiago Nunes. At a press conference after the game, still in the stadium, the coach did not hide the magnitude of the impact that the play generated for his team.
“Without a doubt the play was decisive for the progress of the game … there was an expulsion and the goal. If it were only the expulsion, the 0-0 could be avoided. Fagner’s play was a mistake because, although she (the ball)) I was in goal, you can’t put your hand on the ball there, it’s passive for expulsion. And running with one less in such a difficult game, a classic, Palmeiras with a good team, is difficult. On the contrary, I tried to keep two attackers to at least seek an equalizer, but the second goal was decisive for the final score and our ambitions for the rest of the game, “he said.
Then the coach was asked again about the magnitude of the impact of the penalty / sending off / goal combination.
“Not because of the goal, but mainly because of the sending off. Keeping one less in this context is very difficult, then we suffered the second goal, we were still trying to attack. We still had situations of loitering in their area, with corners, second ball situations, Jô’s chance that he stayed with Michel … but it is very difficult for you to replace the score with one game less. They had a second time of not exposing themselves too much, they gave us the ball, we took a certain advantage in the ball exit, but There, near the large area, we had difficulties to infiltrate because there were fewer players. It was difficult with one less player, “he concluded.
