Guto Ferreira praises Amodeo’s support after Coritiba’s poor run

After four games without winning, including elimination from the Copa do Brasil, the Coritiba thrashed the Cianorte 4-0, this Sunday (3), in the first game of the quarter-finals of the Paraná Championship.

For the technician Guto Ferreirathe result was a reflection of CEO Carlos Amodeo’s support for the coach, after a poor sequence of results, with emphasis on the early elimination in the first phase of the Copa do Brasil, for the modest Águia de Marabá.

“We started to win the match on Sunday, after the defeat to Cascavel, when our president went to the media and called for responsibility. There we started to win the game. This confidence was reciprocated during the week for the players Today was a reflection of that. There’s still a lot to adjust, but we know where we want to get to,” said Guto at a press conference.

Before today’s big victory, Alviverde was going through a fast. He hadn’t won since the eighth round of the State Championship and was eliminated in the first phase of the Copa do Brasil against Águia de Marabá, in Pará.

The early elimination generated criticism of Guto and manager Amodeo. With the defeat in the following game, against Cascavel, in the last round of the first phase of the State Championship, the bad atmosphere worsened.

“The charge doesn’t need to come from the president. I have the charge internally every time we go to the field and the team doesn’t perform as we expected. I apologized [ao Amodeo] for not being able to deliver what we had to deliver. I think we managed to make an adjustment. There is still a lot to happen and we cannot waver”, said Guto about the pressure for results.

With this Sunday’s result, Coxa took a very important step in the semi-finals of Paranaense. The return game against Cianorte is on Saturday (9), at 4pm, at Couto Pereira.
