This was the beginning of the forgotten experience of Alvaro Pacheco on the Vasco da Gama substitutes bench, in the 6-1 defeat against Flamengo, and the Portuguese coach took charge at the end of the match.
Speaking in the post-match press conference, the former Vitoria de Guimarães coach confirmed that his team started better, but lost emotional control after conceding the first goal.
“First and foremost is an apology. The result happened and I am responsible as a coach. We started very well. We succeeded in achieving balance, we were able to score a goal and we had chances to score the second goal. “After we conceded the goal, the team lost a little bit of emotional control.”
“But this does not change anything about my conviction, about what my work will be like, and about the team that will make me proud in the future. He added: “We have to feel this defeat, which is a weight, and realize what we have to do to be stronger.”
Moreover, Álvaro Pacheco once again took responsibility for the result: “I think I have to stand up and apologize. I think we have to understand that if this result happened today it is because I could not, in terms of creating relationships and conditions, for the team to be more competitive.
