Fortaleza Faces Athletic in Crucial Série B Match

With a packed schedule and a grueling travel itinerary, Fortaleza’s coach Thiago Carpini is voicing his concerns about the team’s ability to cope with the demands of their upcoming fixtures.

The team faces Mirando Athletic on Saturday (30) in the 11th round of Série B, and Carpini has been vocal about the need for a more manageable calendar. “We have two days to travel, train, and then play again,” he said. “It’s humanly impossible to keep this up.”

Carpini’s comments come after Fortaleza’s impressive victory over Sport in the Copa do Nordeste, which has left them on the brink of a place in the final.

The team’s players have been feeling the strain, with several reporting discomfort and injury. “We’re not machines,” Carpini said. “We need to be able to rest, eat, and sleep properly if we’re going to perform at our best.”

Athletic on the Horizon

Fortaleza’s next challenge is against Mirando Athletic, a team they have struggled with in the past. The match will be played on Saturday (30) at 18:00 local time.
