After the red-and-black team's final training session in Rio de Janeiro before traveling to Espírito Santo, Évertou held a press conference in the press room at CT George Helal in Vargem Grande. Among the topics discussed, the athlete discussed the team's strong performance in matches played at Kléber Andrade Stadium in Cariacica, Espírito Santo. He also commented on the opportunities received after coach Zé Ricardo took over the team and the team's contention at the top of the Brazilian Championship table.

The Espírito Santo fans have embraced the team immensely, and we're playing well both at Kléber Andrade and in Brasília. We've gotten used to the grass, which is soft and a bit heavy, making it difficult to play on. Fortunately, the fans have been very supportive, and we're continuing to achieve victories.

It's crucial that Zé is repeating the team and giving the players rhythm. Those who come off the bench also enter matches with confidence. The coach knows how important this is, and it's something that's benefiting the team.

At the beginning of the year, I got injured and was out of action for about 30 days. I ended up needing some time to get back into the swing of things. Zé gave me opportunities when he took over from Muricy, and this streak has been really important for me. 

We have to focus solely on our own games and forget about our opponents right now. We need to take it game by game. That's how we'll fight for the title in the future. Ponte Preta is doing well in the championship, and Vitória is very strong at home.

It was a different time. I was quite young and worked with a lot of experienced players. But now I'm more mature, and I hope I have luck this season too.

The coach asks this a lot of the wingers. Attack, but always follow the full-back when reorganizing the defense. Thank God, I've been doing both well in matches.

It's crucial that we forget what the press says; we leave that hype to the fans. Flamengo has experienced players today, a well-seasoned team. It's hard to get to where we are, so we have to stay focused on the matches.
