We’ve already competed for three trophies, lost one and won two, and now we’re in contention for three. I don’t know what will happen. But the symbol I have here forces us to play to win and to enter each competition to compete for the title. Whether we’re going to win the Brasileirão, the Libertadores, the Cup (of Brazil), I don’t know. What our fans can rest assured is that we will do the best we can“, commented.

The great merit today is that everyone defended and everyone attacked. My role as a coach is to give the coordinates, but they have to make the paths. I’m proud, even when we lose I know they do everything. Today’s secret is that we were a serious, competent team and maintained the same aggressiveness and competitiveness as our opponents. We have to take charge and I told the players that we are better than Coritiba, but if we go into the game and wait… These teams are competitive, we knew we had to match the competitive level“, said.
