Fluminense loses to Vasco on penalties, exits Copa do Brasil; Zubeldia blames team
Zubeldia acknowledges Fluminense delivered a poor performance in the first half but states he bears the most responsibility for the defeat. Flu's next fixture is a derby against Botafogo.
The elimination leaves Fluminense without the Copa do Brasil since 2000, when they were victorious over Vasco. Zubeldia downplays criticism and expresses confidence in the team's efforts towards the Libertadores.
What about player mistakes?
Players must learn from defeats and improve to evolve. It's no use always blaming others.
And how did club management react?
The board has done an excellent job. I am grateful for the support I received.
