"For me, the São Paulo Cup was unforgettable. I have many good memories of every moment and every game, from our preparations, to the difficulties we faced together... The group was united and focused. We weren't favorites and we had no idea of ​​the repercussions at each stage we passed. In the final, I remember that when I arrived and entered the stadium, it was full and I couldn't believe it... The entrance to the top of the pier, in Pacaembu... It was unforgettable," recalls the athlete.

Five years later, César hopes the outcome will be the same. To help, he sent a message to the team and all the athletes.

"I wanted to leave this message for you... The whole group is rooting for you and I hope you can crush it in the semifinals and the final. And come out of there with a title. That's what everyone is rooting for!" he exclaimed. And he also didn't forget his teammate, goalkeeper Thiago, who has stood out in the tournament: "Thiagão, just keep killing it calmly, and everything will work out for everyone."
