What They're Saying
Cruzeiro manager Marcelo Oliveira (via Superesportes): "I have this thought, yes. We are not playing like we expected, as we want. We will change a little bit the way we play. In this substantial change we had one year to the next, we are not fitting well."
Corinthians manager Tite (via Cenario): "We are in a difficult moment, we are aware of that. We are hoping the fans can understand the mistakes we've made."
