Dorival Júnior, the coach of the team, discussed the 1-1 draw against Coritiba in a press conference after the match. He expressed frustration that a win was lost due to repeated missed opportunities, particularly in set pieces, which prevented the team from being in a much stronger position in the league. The coach acknowledged the team's efforts in the first half, playing most of the game in Coritiba's half, but emphasized the lack of a decisive play to secure the victory.
Dorival also praised the fans' support, noting that the team fell short despite their presence at the stadium. He concluded that the responsibility lies with the team, as the goalkeeper did not have to make saves, leaving them with an obligation to try something different to win. The team is set to play against Bolívar-BOL in the CONMEBOL Sudamericana round of 16 on Tuesday, followed by a Brasileirão match against Chapecoense on Sunday at the Arena Condá in Chapecó, SC.
