Fortaleza suffered a heavy 5-0 defeat against Flamengo on Sunday night (1st), at Maracanã, in the 11th round of the Brazilian Championship. After the end of the match, striker Marinho spoke out, showing dissatisfaction with the team's performance and acknowledging the fans' disappointment.


First of all, we have to apologize to our fans . We have been leaving a lot to be desired in many games. We have been talking about it and it cannot be something repetitive”, declared the player. Marinho also assessed that the team had a safe start to the game , but lost control after conceding the first goal.


FORTALEZA PRODUCTION DROP


According to Marinho , the team from Ceará was unable to maintain consistency in the second half. “ In a game against a very qualified team , we ended up conceding goals very quickly. Four goals in a row, we should have lowered the line a little ,” he said. For the striker, the team’s recovery will only come with concrete actions on the field.

The player's speech reflects his concern about the current situation the club is going through. Despite good performances in previous matches, the team's inconsistent performance has been hampering its campaign in the Brazilian Championship.


TRICOLOR ENTERS THE RELEGATION ZONE

With the negative result, Fortaleza lost one position in the table and entered the relegation zone. The team has 10 points and is in 17th place, behind Vitória, which has the same number of points but has an advantage in goal difference - directly influenced by the five goals conceded against Flamengo .

Flamengo received important news this Monday (4). Midfielder Arrascaeta underwent tests at the club's training center, Ninho do Urubu, which ruled out any muscle injury in the thigh. Thus, the number 10 is fit to reinforce the team in the return match against Atlético-MG , in the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil.


The Uruguayan was substituted at halftime of the match against Ceará last weekend after complaining of muscle discomfort. The decision to withdraw him was made by coach Filipe Luís as a preventative measure , avoiding the worsening of a possible clinical condition.


MEDICAL EVALUATION


The player's departure at half-time caused apprehension among fans, who feared the absence of the team's main playmaker in a decisive match. However, tests carried out on Monday ruled out any medical concerns , and Arrascaeta is available to the coaching staff for the match against Atlético-MG, on Wednesday (6).

Internally, the news was received enthusiastically, particularly given the tactical importance the midfielder represents to the team's attacking system . If he's fully fit by game day, Arrascaeta is likely to start.


CLASSIFICATION SCENARIOS

After a 1-0 defeat in the first leg at Maracanã, Flamengo needs to win by two goals to secure a direct spot in the quarterfinals. If Flamengo wins by one goal, the match will go to penalties . A draw or another defeat in Belo Horizonte will result in Flamengo 's elimination from the competition.
