“This comes from a lot of work and dedication. I am pleased with the goal and happy for the group. During the week, we worked hard, so everyone should be praised for the great match we played; now the championship will stop. We need to rest a little to come back in full power. This award belongs to the group. I already thanked Otávio, who is a great boy. We always talked and he should also be praised as he had a great night.”

“The team played a good match and I believe it’s the third time I do well going in, but I don’t want to get used to the bench. This was the result of the strength of the squad and what matters are the three points. We knew how good they are and the goal just wouldn’t come. I think the coach sent me because I cut inside more, whereas Corona runs on the wing. We had a good second-half, and got the three points, which is what matters. Now we need to stay at the top, as we want to reach the end in the lead. It doesn’t matter how many points we have, as long as we are in the lead when it’s all over.”
