– There is the issue of the human side, respecting the individual. It is equity and equality. Equality is giving opportunities to everyone, equity is respecting each person’s moment. When you have consecutive games, you need to know that the athlete needs to recover, you recover him; When you see that the athlete needs a sequence, you continue. We have been very respectful. We have talked a lot about positioning adjustments, we have approached the athletes a lot individually and this reflects on the field. Athletes are able to receive information, there is no barrier. This communication with the athletes has been very cool and interesting – said Fabio Matias.
