The 1-0 defeat against Fluminense, last Saturday (31), already happened in Fortaleza. Despite seeing the sequence of 12 unbeaten matches come to an end, Tricolor do Pici does not lose focus in the dispute for Serie A of the Brazilian Championship, the club’s only competition for the rest of the season. November promises an intense marathon of matches and, therefore, the Leo team should take advantage of this week to make adjustments.
Without a game until the weekend, when he enters the field, at 6 pm on Saturday (7), to face Atlético / PR, in Arena da Baixada, this will be the last free week before starting an intense sequence. In total, there will be five games in the 15-day interval, with an average of one game every three days.
This is due to the fact that the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) has set the dates for the clashes against Vasco and Bahia, which had been postponed in the Brazilian Serie A due to the participation of the tricolor team in the Brazil Cup.
In a match valid for round 18, Fortaleza will face Bahia, away from home, on Wednesday, November 11 at 18:45. The duel against Vasco da Gama will be on the 19th, next Thursday, at 7:00 p.m., also away from home.
Between the two duels, there is a clash against São Paulo, at 7 pm on Saturday (14), at Arena Castelão. After a match against Vasco, the delegation is still in Rio de Janeiro to face Botafogo on Sunday (22).

Recovery
This week will be essential for coach Rogério Ceni to physically recover the squad. Fortaleza comes from a series of important and extremely exhausting matches, not only in the Brazilian Championship, but also in the Ceará Championship and the Copa do Brasil. This in a short time, which ended up naturally causing wear and tear in athletes.
Despite not losing anyone to injury, the coach has some players on the squad who are practically at the physical limit. Tinga, for example, started on the bench against Fluminense, only entering the second half.
Settings
Rogério Ceni has the habit of taking advantage of his free weeks. The period serves to strengthen the game model, create alternatives and tactical variations and also promote even more specific aspects, such as the dead ball, which has been a very important aspect and has yielded several goals this season.
Therefore, the next few days will be crucial to make adjustments and continue to improve the system used by Ceni.
With several games coming up short, there won’t be another opportunity like this this November.
