Moreno bets on Felipão to recover Cruzeiro and assures that the coach asked for “daring and joy” | cruise

After the game against Juventude, another stumble in Mineirão (goalless draw), the Bolivian center forward said he has faith that Felipão, 71, without a club since September 2019, will have a winning career at Cruzeiro.

“I have faith that with the arrival of Felipão, with the experience he has, he will do a victorious job. So be it. I already worked with him and we need victories ”.

Marcelo Moreno also revealed some aspects mentioned by Felipão in the conference of the match against Juventude. The technician was Célio Lúcio, permanent assistant of the club, but the effective commander participated in the videoconference.

According to the Bolivian, he asked the players to be calm and play with daring and joy. The forward believes that anxiety has even prevented the team from scoring goals.

– Before the game, he told us to be calm. We’re sure – we’re also a bit anxious about introductions, which gets in the way. It is by trying, raising our heads, that we will achieve victories.

“We are going to get out of this situation. He told us to play boldly and with joy, that things will happen again and they will be as we want.

Still talking about the moment of the team, which is in the runner-up in Serie B, with only 13 points in 16 days, Moreno was quick to cite former leaders who, in his opinion, should never have gone through Cruzeiro. Wagner Pires de Sá, Itair Machado and Sérgio Nonato, for example, were denounced by the Public Ministry this week for irregularities in the management of the club.

– We are professionals, and this moment we live is to assume responsibilities. People who should never have been through Cruzeiro left the club in this situation, and we have to get out of this difficult moment.

Felipão will lead the first job on Monday, in Curitiba. The debut will be on Tuesday, at 9:30 p.m. (from Brasilia), at Germano Krüger, against Operário.
