Fonseca, August 24: "We have an attitude problem, a desire to defend as a team. When the opponent passes our press, we have difficulty coming back, we are not compact. In training, the team is good, then you go to the matches and all this happens. That is not easy to explain.
Fonseca, September 17: "We conceded two goals from set pieces, then we lost the confidence, and when a team loses its confidence, it does not do what it has been doing in training. After the second goal, we stopped playing football.
Fonseca, 6 October: "We did not have any aggression. I told players that the problem was in not in tactics, we were just not aggressive enough, both in defense and in attack.We were too indecisive."
And what a curious expression of words. "It is difficult to explain." But isn't the coach supposed to understand what happens with the team? It's impossible to take not every crisis under control, but publicly to state that you can't explain what's going on seems to be the opposite of what a coach is employed for.
