Despite falling short of the desired outcome, Fenômeno expressed admiration for the squad’s tenacity both in turning things around in the first half and giving their all until the end.
Another war! We managed to turn things around in the first half and, in the second, our players gave their lives until the end. We continue working to correct and evolve firmly and focused! Let’s go CRUISE! #ClosedWithCruzeiro

However, the SAF manager’s post stirred controversy as some fans criticized his stance. The draw leveled Cruzeiro and Vasco at 41 points, placing them three points behind Bahia in the Z-4.
My egg, I’m just angry and you seem like everything is fine…

The cast that your troupe assembled is MEDIOCRE. If it weren’t for those 3 wins at the start of the championship, we would be relegated today. In a team the size of Cruzeiro, you could never have counted on luck! Review your concepts and change everything for next year, hoping A LOT…

And there were some suggesting Ronaldo should bring a player that can score next year
And for everything that is most sacred. Bring a striker who can score goals next year!

Ronaldo disappears with this Mateus Vital then, I’m a Santista, but this guy isn’t even good for the series, but as long as he’s there he’ll be selected, he dominates everyone in the shin, he doesn’t hit a shot on goal, a pass from half a meter, he’s kidding a club It’s great to have a horrible player like that!

Idle talk…
If some players from our base played for Santos, Palmeiras, Grêmio, Flamengo, they would already be solving our problems and desired by European teams…
Insisting with Vital, Wesley and Paulo Victor is enough to be suspicious…
