Part 3/8:
Statistically, the team has improved in terms of goals scored, but there's evidently a disparity in their overall performance compared to earlier seasons. Ferreira’s analysis highlighted that in the last five games preceding this one, the team conceded only one goal while managing to score four. However, the recent outing saw a net gain of three goals but also marked a dip in defensive solidity with two goals conceded.
While Abel pointed out that the team has historically suffered from a lack of creativity, they have shown flashes of improvement, indicating that these younger players, many of whom have recently joined the squad, could eventually gel to form a more cohesive unit.
