In a news conference shortly after Fluminense’s victory over Ulsan Hyundai (color) 4-2, Colombian Jhon Arias, author of a goal and assistance in the match, recognized the performance below Tricolor, especially in the first half. The team went ahead, but took the turn before the break and only reversed the scenario in the second stage.
– We stopped doing a lot that matched. At a time in the game, Ulsan competed much more than us, had a little more willing. The ball punishes. We went through a bad time, of deconcentration and our flaws. In this type of tournament, at this level, the errors are scored with goal for the opposing team. We suffered on the skin this deconcentration, we stayed behind the score and had to run after, make a greater effort. In the second half we competed better, we managed to be superior and rewarded with the victory – he said, adding:
“A Bola put”
– We knew that, with all due respect to Ulsan, the goal was our inattention. We tried to fix it, we talked a lot in the break. I think we stop doing a lot that we combined in the first half. And the result was that we had to run after the score. This is boring in football. In a game that you have the responsibility it is very boring to leave, you have to triple the strength – concluded.
