Part 3/8:
The performance was characterized as "apathetic," lacking aggressive play and creative offensive strategies. At one point during the second goal, Luiz remained on the field despite being injured, reflecting the team's overall lack of awareness and coordination. The blame could not solely be placed on the players; it extended to the coaching staff, whose decisions impacted the gameplay dramatically.
Despite a penalty awarded through VAR intervention, which allowed Flamengo to tie the game briefly, the overall contribution to the match was minimal. The post-match press conference failed to address the gravity of the situation, leaving supporters desiring tangible accountability for such an uninspiring performance.
