Part 2/7:
During a post-game conference, Mano Menezes addressed the issues arising from Marcelo's reluctance to participate as a substitute in a decisive moment. He explained his thought process in choosing to bring in a physically resilient player, JK, to maintain the team's current status rather than solve an existing problem. Menezes emphasized that bringing in JK wasn't necessarily a reaction to Marcelo's absence, but rather a strategic decision to secure a lead in the final minutes of the game.
