Odair criticizes the arbitration in the defeat of Fluminense and says: “The penalty made the difference” | fluminense

– Things happened during the game … For me it was not a penalty, we have to make a better assessment in this context. Obtain evaluation of the VAR, launch that stops, goes back, kicks at high speed … Wellington (Silva), instinctively, had his arm closed, but other situations happened and the VAR did not call. These decisions are not yet uniform.

– The penalty made the difference. They also got the second goal very fast. They were effective. We were trying to boost our property, but we couldn’t do it with that volume. The game was not for that marker. There was also a five-minute stoppage (Luccas Claro’s goal was annulled) and you have to believe in what the machine did.

With the result, Fluminense dropped three positions and is now eighth in the Brazilian Championship, with 32 points. The next game will be against Internacional, in Beira-Rio, on Sunday at 6.15pm (Brasília), for the 22nd day of the competition.

FRED INJURY
– This situation in which it happens to someone who is about to start, as it happened to Fred, always changes the context. Unfortunately, he was unable to start. I put Felippe (Cardoso) so that he had pivot imposition, movement there to the front so that he could get offensive volume. It happened in the first half, we had a good first half.

– We managed to build within our standard, put the ball in organization, construction, we created opportunities for kicks, we just didn’t get it right. We finished a very large number, but little managed. The scoreboard looks like the team had no construction. But what he had was difficulty translating into dangerous situations and goals.

INCOME FALL
– The game against Grêmio I agree, really in terms of standards we played a game far below in all aspects. I don’t agree with today’s game. In my opinion, we took up important things that gave us the victory and the score in the first lap. We have to be effective again and score points.

– Today we did not score, but in my opinion we played a restart match for other matches. A lot of things happened in the game, if our first goal was made … If you look at the cold numbers, we finished more, we had more possession, but we didn’t put it inside.

DO DEFEATS OPEN ROOM FOR CHANGE IN THE TEAM?
– Regarding the change or not, it’s up to the work week, the games. We will always try to find the best team and repeat the first round. The assessment is done every week to establish a strong team and the best possible standard.

BAD START OF RETURN
– Either in the first or in the second round I have maintained a balance in my statements. If the first round is won, in the first two games we score a point. (…) It is a different championship, we fell in the placements, but the score is not far for the others placed. Last year, at that time, perhaps there was a great distance for others. Both the bottom and top are close together.

– These first matches, in full view of all, are against great teams that are running for the title. Of course, you have to go back to the standard, like you did today, not in the previous game. Today we have resumed important things, we have to transform this pattern into the effectiveness of goals and points to make a walk as solid as that of the first round. The start is difficult since it was the first lap, they are working and believing they will be re-established in the second lap.

PSYCHOLOGICAL OF THE PLAYERS
– The players will not lose the advantage, the strength, the mental part. They know that in every game we always have to try to improve. We are in a very clear assessment in terms of score, championship, opponents, what was done in the first round and what will happen in the second. The demand on us is strong for us to get the best.

IRRITATION DURING THE GAME
– If the truth be told, the game was completely controlled. Then he scores the goal, he stays for five minutes to evaluate, he loses concentration a bit, but the team had no action to escape the pattern. In the second half, Palmeiras tried harder, the penalty generated discomfort in the team.

– I always say that the team that ends up suffering the reverse of the goal has to have a lot of concentration in the following minutes, then we suffer the second goal too quickly. But we didn’t stop looking, we had good numbers. You have to turn that into goals. The scoreboard didn’t tell us what the game was, it happened to us and today it happened to Palmeiras.

BAD PHASE OF ATTACK
– We have a central idea within our organization and freedom of movement. This generated infiltration fruits, opportunities … What we think of this movement is happening, they are free to change roles. It means turning all of that into target effectiveness. We did it mainly in the first half. Palmeiras played more in the mid-low block than in construction in our field. But going behind the scoreboard ends up giving more danger to this type of game.

– Palmeiras won 2-0 and finished less than us. But he took much more danger and scored a goal through a penalty and another rolling situation. We have to have more dangerous shots, ours in the goal were not so difficult for the opposing goalkeeper. But the team did not stop trying to impose the game.

MATHEUS PATO, SAMUEL, JOHN KENNEDY …
– We have many grassroots players, they are part of the labor context. Today Marcos Paulo, Luiz Henrique came in … He has played with the base players who are training with us and we are always ready to observe other players.
