This Thursday (July 17th), the team defeated <strong>Fluminense<\/strong> 2-0 at Maracan\u00e3 in the 14th round, overtaking <strong>Flamengo<\/strong> in the S\u00e9rie A standings.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a press conference after the victory in Rio de Janeiro, Jardim preferred to focus on Cruzeiro&#8217;s next match in the Brasileir\u00e3o: against Juventude, this Sunday (July 20th), at Mineir\u00e3o.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Portuguese coach also asked for the fans&#8217; support for the match against a &#8220;fresher&#8221; opponent trying to escape the relegation zone. &#8220;Honestly, I&#8217;m not bothered by my position in the table. What bothers me is thinking that we have a game in three days. Juventude needs points and is fresher than us. We have to fill Mineir\u00e3o to get the three points,&#8221; declared the coach. &#8220;It&#8217;s crucial to make sense of the results we had against Gr\u00eamio and Fluminense. We need the fans&#8217; support because our team will be less fresh and needs to take the game seriously and beat Juventude,&#8221; he added.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leonardo Jardim calls for fan support for match against &#8216;rested&#8217; Juventude: &#8216;We have to fill [&hellip;]<\/p>","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":15685,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rank_math_lock_modified_date":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[60],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bbscore.com\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15684"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bbscore.com\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bbscore.com\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bbscore.com\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bbscore.com\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15684"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/bbscore.com\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15684\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15686,"href":"https:\/\/bbscore.com\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15684\/revisions\/15686"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bbscore.com\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15685"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bbscore.com\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15684"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bbscore.com\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15684"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bbscore.com\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15684"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
