The logic is simple: as Bahia could not face Massa Bruta throughout the match, the problem lies in the strategy he thought of.

– I told the players and I will say it here publicly. When a whole team plays poorly, we don’t have a player who has played well, that’s the manager’s responsibility. We had tactical problems, we do not understand the game as we should understand – he said.

The whole team was bad, the responsibility is mine. The game was thought by me, coaching staff. We never succeeded against Bragantino. When this difficulty exists it is because we did not understand the game well and that is the responsibility of the coach.

The concern now is that the defeat suffered will not affect the group’s confidence for Tuesday’s game against Unión Santa Fe, on the South American side.

– On Tuesday we will have the opportunity to prove it. We have to show something very different from what we show today – he said.

The match against the Argentines is scheduled for 7.15pm (Brasilia time), at the Fonte Nova Arena.

Elias and Rodriguinho
Today we are not going to fall into individual analyzes. We lost as a team and this is the defeat we have to endure no matter how hard it is.

Did Bragantino dominate the game?
We were involved in understanding the game, in tactical matters. We almost never came out playing with quality because the rival squeezed us and made us make many mistakes. It cost us defeat.

Scheduled cards?
We had the three centrals with two cards and we needed, at least, to keep one, since Lucas was injured. We understood that it would be a moment. The rest were due to the game.
