Despite the elastic score, Bahia was unstable at the beginning of the game and conceded a goal, with the defensive system failing. Despite the hesitation, coach Dado Cavalcanti praised the tranquility that the team had to build the result in favor.
–
– I have treated it this way internally and externally. It was not Bahia’s defense that suffered the goals, it is the Bahia team. So I treat it very clearly, in a systemic way. I think our team started the game badly. The start of the game was not what we expected. But we also had the lucidity and tranquility of, when taking a goal, not to lose the lucidity of the match, we did not lose the reins of the game. I think we could have started the game better, we had a little bit of difficulty also in the match against Botafogo-PB. However, I also understand that, in this resumption of season, we must also suffer a little from this adaptation to opponents, to a slightly different type of game – he said.
–
– It is not any team that scores seven goals in a game, regardless of the opponent, of the circumstances. Also remembering that we scored a goal. So we also had the merit of having the tranquility of not losing your head in times of difficulty. We turned the game around and had complete control of the match. This, without a doubt, makes me very happy – he completed.

And Bahia’s thrashing went, above all, to Rossi’s feet. On an inspired night, the striker scored three goals and assisted Juninho Capixaba.
–
As it could not be otherwise, he was praised by the tricolor technician.
–
– Rossi has been going through a moment of great confidence. He has been risking moves and has been decisive. This is good, it contributes to our team, not only with the goals, but it infects our team on the field. And on the pitch, he always performs with lots of energy, a lot of vibration. This is too positive to infect the entire cast – he said.
–
– First, he was a supportive guy. Then he became a guy, in addition to being supportive, committed and tactical. And then he became a decisive guy. Most importantly, he doesn’t lose the other qualities that made him get here. And that we can use it in the best possible way – analyzed

The classification with authority is a kind of response to the embarrassment that Bahia had in the past season, when they were eliminated by River-PI in the 1st phase. According to Dado Cavalcanti, the cast, which is basically the same as last year, was more connected to not repeat the dose.
–
– We alert our athletes a lot. I think that, in 2020, the Copa do Brasil was very painful for all of us. I was here in Bahia, I also lived, I felt our disqualification on my skin. So I think we came to the game much more vaccinated, the truth is this. Several players were part of this confrontation last year. So we had the clarity that, when taking the goal, we would not be too much in a hurry. We had the tranquility of quickly turning the corner after the goal was taken. Of course, the goal came out in an error of ours. Our responsibility. My responsibility is to seek evolution, correction. But I also leave here with a clear conscience, due to the maturity we had in the field, so as not to repeat a disqualification as painful as it was last year – he said.

Bahia now turns its attention to the classic against Vitória, scheduled for this Saturday, at Barradão, for the Copa do Nordeste.

Margin for improvement
– I think there is always room for improvement. The game was designed for the control of our team, both offensively and defensively. But there are several aspects that need to be improved. I think it is much more a behavioral condition as well, a tactical adjustment situation. Our team needs … We have great ambitions for the season. And it is not possible, just because of a game condition, to make a good game, the first game of the 2021 season good, and be content with just that. We will look for further evolution. Individually, collectively, tactically, so that this team is even more competitive throughout the season.
–
Game analysis
– I think it was much more the orientation on our opponent, because we needed to make some adjustments. From one game to the next, things change a lot, they are completely different. We left a game against Botafogo-PB, where the opponent scored very low, to face an opponent who scored very high. So it’s an adaptation that we had to do during a training day, with images, with videos. I think it was enough for us to quickly interpret what the game would be.
