Knowing how to understand the moment lived by the team that won the Libertadores and Brasileirão in 2019 and exchanging scolding for support and advice, not only internally but mainly externally, made Ceni go even further in the concept with the Rubro-Negro cast.
In group interviews, the coach emphasized praising the athletes’ performance and effort in the games that culminated in the eliminations. Against Racing, for example, he did not spare praise for the team, which ended up leaving the Libertadores on penalties.
“We have to analyze everything that this team has built. It is always a pride to work with athletes of this level. The result does not express what this team produced today. I know the delivery of all of them. With 11 players against 11, a team killing the opponent all the time … We lose a defender, we risk everything and we manage to reach a draw, that is perhaps the great value that is given to him.
If the penalty shootout were different, they would treat us like heroes. Since it was not like that, we have to give explanations. Soccer has the imponderable, and we cannot control that ”, said the coach shortly after the elimination for the Argentine team.
If Ceni set out to protect the athletes, every day he sometimes comes as a “psychologist, talking to the players and trying to build a bond of trust. Not for nothing, he launched a barbecue with all the employees.” of CT and the players, last Tuesday (8), in Ninho do Urubu, passionate about rock, insisted on launching the pagoda and got into the atmosphere of fraternization.
If Ceni strives to publicly protect athletes, players are not far behind and always boost coach morale in interviews. This week, Filipe Luís praised the commander, whom he described as complete.
“The team has a great evolution. They are different ideas, different game models, the team has grown, there is greater strength. Ceni is complete, all aspects work. Everything works absurdly, but it takes time. It takes a lot of time. dialogue, but every time we understand more the idea of being a team with a Ceni face ”.
Pedro, who had his purchase confirmed by Flamengo this week, also left his public praise for the technician.
“I’m sure the eliminations served as a learning experience. But now we have time to work with Ceni. This week has been very good, it is implementing its features and we are assimilating it very well on a day-to-day basis. I am sure we will evolve a lot. with Rogério “.
Willian Arão, another important player in the squad, spared no praise for Rogério Ceni and even left a clue to the former coach.
“Very good training, a lot of intensity and the clear idea of the game. It has been very good. Everything we were used to but we lost a bit, for a while, we are reaching the highest level again. Our team is one of intensity, of press inside out of the house. We’re doing it. “
In fact, Ceni differs from Dome, mainly in methodology. The Catalan followed the line of “cruyffismo”, where the player is the key to the game and is free to make decisions on the pitch. The current commander, on the other hand, seeks to leave everything well chewed, with less freedom and more predefined themes.
There are those who say that it is an idea similar to that of Jorge Jesus, but those who have followed Flamengo’s work on a daily basis can point out important differences between the two coaches. Filipe Luís himself emphasized this.
“No two coaches are the same. Rogério came up with new ideas. We are improving. Anyone who is ambitious only thinks about winning the next game and being champion. Thinking about the past gets in the way.”
After a week of intense work, Flamengo has the chance not only to win, but also to show a good performance against a highly modified Santos focused on the Copa Libertadores de América.
