After a tie without goals with the Workers, this Thursday (15), for the ninth round of the Paranaense ChampionshipAthletico was criticized at the Ligga Arena. After the match ended, Hurricane fans protested with booing, stating that winning the classic Athletiba in the next round is an obligation.
After the confrontation, at the press conference, coach Juan Carlos Osorio asked for support and understanding of the crowd.
"The crowd will definitely complain a lot more. This scenario will happen again. I believe you have more options to win when you control the ball. I'll ask the cheers for support from the team. The Athletico is the most important", said Osorio.
One of the main critics of the crowd is the coach's choices, which have not yet defined his 11 ideal players in the starting lineup.
Osorio stated that he does not suffer from any indecision to assemble the team, and that 11 starting players do not exist on any football team.
" We have 28 training sessions so far. Today, I know our athletes very well, I have no doubt, no indecision. You have positions where decisions are very difficult. I don't want to have an 11 holder, that doesn't exist in the football world, only the teams that can invest millions and millions of dollars in players," the professor said.
Another point asked by the fans was the victory in the classic against the Coritiba. Next Sunday (18), for the ninth round, also defines the isolated leadership of the competition.
With the draw in front of the Workers, Hurricane remained in first place, with 21 points. Cox is the vice-leader, with 20 points. Thus, in addition to the importance of the classic, Athletiba is also worth the isolated leadership of the classification phase.
For the game, which will be in Couto Pereira, Osorio promised a competitive performance, without violence.
"We deeply respect the Coritiba. I'll propose a classic without violence, but compete 100%. There's only one way to play the game with the ball. Nobody gets six points in the classic, it's still three points. I understand it's classic, but let's play a game, and we have to play it the best way. I don't like violence. We have to respect football. Attack, seek, always propose the game", finished the coach.
