He spoke about the match and his achievements over these four years at Rubro-Negro. Check out some excerpts from the interview:

Match against Bahia
"The FIFA break was important for us to rest and recover some players who were more fatigued. Our commitment and dedication were evident in the game. We were more intense defensively, and on offense, we created several opportunities and even managed to extend our lead. We were very consistent."

cheering
"The fans were amazing yesterday, phenomenal. They played their part, sang, and cheered us on. That mosaic, the smoke at the start of the game makes all the difference, intimidating the opponent."

Off the field
"I'm very hard on myself, always reviewing my plays so I can improve for the next match. I don't get too worked up just watching soccer; I watch other sports, like basketball, American football, and tennis."
