When activities resumed at Ninho do Urubu on Thursday afternoon (20), Everton Ribeiro was present at the Victorino Chermont Press Room, where he gave a press conference. Stressing the need for a positive result, the red-black number 7 commented on the Mais Querido's next challenge in the Brazilian Championship, against the Coritiba team this Saturday (22) at Ilha do Urubu.

The pressure for victories was also a topic discussed by journalists during their conversation with the attacking midfielder, who emphasized the team's drive to improve its efficiency in finishing plays. Everton Ribeiro praised and expressed support for coach Zé Ricardo, as well as commenting on the support he has given goalkeeper Diego Alves in adapting to Flamengo in this new stage of his career.

I ended up turning my ankle, but nothing too worrying. I already treated it today and will do the same tomorrow. I'll take care of myself so I'll be available for the next match.

We've seen some fans demand it, but they're entitled to it. We're looking for wins, playing well, and blitzing, but we're not getting the results. We have to play well and win.

We're not bothered by the pressure, but by the fact that results aren't coming the way we want. Professor Zé is managing to explain what he wants; he's a guy with a unique understanding of football. But we're not achieving victories. We need to combine this knowledge with hard work and strive for positive results.

From what I talked to him about, especially since I just arrived, I was able to convey what I'm feeling. It's a great pleasure to play for Flamengo. He's very happy, prepared for this new challenge, and a part of the team. He's a great goalkeeper, a member of the Brazilian national team, who will strengthen us. He'll bring experience and his great football to help us win titles.

He has complete respect for everything he's been presenting to us. He has the full support of the board and our players. He's demonstrated his knowledge. If we can demonstrate everything he teaches us on the field, turning it into goals and victories, we can change this situation. We're going to go after the victory we so desperately need against Coritiba. It'll be a tough game, but at home, so we have to do everything we can to win.

You take a team that's already well-coordinated and have to adapt your playing style to what's already there. It ends up being a bit more difficult, but the quality of the players we have makes this adaptation a bit easier. This way, I can understand how each player plays a little better, making it easier to make passes even without looking, knowing my teammate will be there.

The goal is to return to the national team, but the main thing is Flamengo. Everything passes through here; it's my job. We have to keep growing and evolving, so that when we're competing for titles, the national team's professionals will keep an eye on us. It's necessary to do the best you can at Flamengo to earn a call-up.

In these last few games, we've been creating chances and dominating the match. Yesterday we had chances to extend the lead early on, which would have given us some peace of mind. We didn't score, and they managed to get back into the game. We need more composure to finish the plays.
