Coach Dorival Júnior spoke at a press conference after the 1-1 draw with Coritiba at MorumBIS in São Paulo (SP), in a match valid for the 23rd round of the 2026 Brazilian Championship.
"It's frustrating because, from one play, we ended up losing the chance for a win. And this is something that has been happening repeatedly in several matches. It's what we've been focusing on and working on the most, but set pieces have been taking away a real chance for us to be in a much better position in the league," the coach said.
"We owe our fans because of what we tried to do in the first half, playing practically the entire time in the opponent's half. But, once again, we lacked the most important thing, which is making the decisive play and finishing the job," he added.
Dorival also commented on the fans' presence at the stadium.
"The fans did their part, and they did it very well. Once again, we fell short. The responsibility is ours. Today our goalkeeper practically didn't have to make a save, so we had the obligation to try something different so that we could end the match with a win," he concluded.
