Fagner says that the family cried with the victory of Corinthians and defends Cássio: “More respect” | corinthians

There were five straight games without a positive result under the command of former coach Dyego Coelho and a bad moment even with threats to Henrique, the player’s ten-year-old son, on social networks. With Vagner Mancini, things started to change.

– As a player who grew up in the club, I know the greatness of Corinthians and it bothers me not to win and even to enter the relegation zone. We know about loading, how things are. But we leave family, we travel, we work every day seeking victory. Often things didn’t happen. Lack of luck, gambling situation … Sorry. Our family feels. My wife commented that she and my son cried. Look at the weight we carry. How sorry our family feels, ”Fagner said.

– It was not a lack of dedication, of dedication. At one point you are in bad shape, at another moment things improve. I hope I have this security, this winning path. Put Corinthians where it belongs.

The full-back also praised Mancini’s “courage” in taking on the challenge of taking over Corinthians even in the face of a bad scenario. The two worked together on Vasco in 2010.

– He’s a calm guy, he has a good game reading. It gave us confidence. We are happy that you accepted the challenge. Not everyone would have that courage. Even on the stage we were on. It was time to give us an answer. Get out of that awkward area. Knowing that each game is a decision. Get on the table and fight more at the top. Give the support you need, have the understanding of the ideas, so that it is possible to execute them in the best possible way – completed the side.

There are eight assists on the team’s tally in 2020. If collectively things didn’t happen in the best way on the field, individually Fagner has good numbers in his “waiter” season at Corinthians. For him, there is no bad individual phase.

– I am entering the top 20 in number of games for the club, it is the year I gave the most assists. My assessment is positive. When he does not have victories, he ends up weighing, but if he was winning some games he stopped winning, perhaps, the speech would be different. Obviously, I wonder, but I see with good eyes what has been done. I will not say that it is a 100% positive evaluation, nor 100% negative, an intermediate evaluation. I will continue charging until the day I retire, it is daily.

– I do not consider it a bad phase, because it is obvious that when you start to create situations, taking work to the opponent offensively, you start to score better. These are game situations. Sometimes, recomposing a line of three, the possibility of creating a goal is more complicated. It goes from one game to another. How the team is playing, the system they are going to play. In that game, I had two opportunities to score, they are situations, read, how we are – he added.

Fagner was also asked about Cassio’s moment. The goalkeeper has been a frequent target of protests from the fans and served a sanction in the last round. Walter played a great game and, on social networks, there are those who ask for the reservation as a starter. The defender asked for respect with shirt number 12.

– I’m going to ask a question: how many balls per game for a Cássio defense a while ago? One two? Today, it has been six, seven balls. One hour the guy will do fine. We are facing quality athletes to finish, the Serie A teams are good. We know Walter, the quality of Cássio, but we have to respect history. For me, one of the greatest idols in the history of the club. If you have to play, it is the coach who decides. But you have to respect it a little more. The criticism on him is being harsh. A boy who was always dedicated to the club. More respect for what it is. People forgot what he did. What it represents for the club. Live intensely the club. We have to respect – argued.

See the other points covered in the Fagner press conference:

Ups and downs
– Soccer has ups and downs. Not only Corinthians, several teams went through this. Has passed. Now is to turn the page and have good results. If you think about today’s championship, which teams managed to stay regular? Atlético-MG, Internacional, Flamengo … The other teams fluctuated within the competition. Several have passed this way. I hope the scene has changed. We know that the bad phase does not last forever and neither does the good one. Have peace of mind. We avoid talking to solve in the field. Grow on the table and grow at the right time.

Importance of the victory against Athletico-PR
– We knew the importance of victory to get us out of the relegation zone. We knew the importance of the three points for the resumption of confidence, to win again. This was bothering us. Get out of the house and win. It gives confidence, lightens the atmosphere. Now it’s time to rest, recover and train to have a great game on Sunday. Win to have room at the table.

Robinho case in Santos and tolerance to violence
– First, I think it’s not just football. It has to cover the world. The matter is complicated, because we have a case these days of a man attacking his wife in Bahia. Very serious. This problem is that many of the parties involved have solved themselves. Difficult to give an opinion. We hear the news about him in the press. It’s hard. A lot of who is hiring, what is the situation, what is the best for you. It is very delicate to say from the outside who is right and who is not.

Game ideas
– The main factor is that when you play in a big club, you are subject to change and you know how to play in different ways. We had the idea to propose the game, but when you propose a lot, you take more risks. You need to find that balance. Corinthians have always defended themselves very well. There is a change in the proposal of a game, but it is obvious that there is a risk of assuming it. You need to find that balance. He loses games, he loses confidence, he doesn’t attack with such quality. Succession of things, several different alignments. Returning to the path of victories, regardless of performance, gives the coach confidence until he has a standard of play. It is a process.

Charges and desire to win
– Corinthians is a mass club, a great club. There is a charge. People are empowered. Being accused is one thing, now accusing a wife, a ten-year-old son, that will add up to nothing. I’ve lived here since I was ten years old. I have great things within the club. When you win at the club, you think you’re fine, you stop aiming for titles, but that’s not my case. I want to reach more people within the club. It is to keep working. We will work and improve.

I miss the loyal fans x income at home
– We know the strength of Fiel, when our stadium is full they support us. We know that for the rival it is also different. You know, you know that our fans are boring to them. We know. But now it is necessary to have imposition. Encouraging helps, but we are the ones who solve in the field. Much has changed during the pandemic. We also have to improve to move up the table. Any support is welcome. Corinthians is like religion, this support for those of us who work every day is important. Let it be so until the end of the year. We hope to bring the victories.

Reflection on the personal moment
– I make an independent reflection on whether or not I score on my side. Varies by system. Sometimes he played very sharp and was far to compose himself. We have to be calm. The objective is collective. Regardless of which side it comes out. I have seen my games improve attacking and defending. I’ve been thinking. It is a learning process. If you want, you can learn. I have tried to help in the best possible way with new situations.
