Gaúcho Criticizes Fluminense Despite Sudamericana Win

In a post-match press conference, Gaúcho expressed his disappointment, stating, "Tiramos o pé do acelerador, coisa que eu não gostei" (We took our foot off the gas, something I didn't like). He felt the team's lack of intensity in the second half nearly cost them the match. While Fluminense secured a win, the coach's concerns highlight the need for consistent performance in future games.
