Brazilian Championship Sequence
I think the feeling would be one of failure if each athlete wasn't giving their best. If we didn't give our best, didn't reach our limit, or tactically disobeyed what our commander asks of us, then yes, that feeling would arise. Regardless of what happens, we have to give our best and do our part.

Match against Atlético-MG
It's a classic match between two great teams. This game will have even greater importance. It will be a decisive game, in which both teams will play in a similar way, always attacking. Whoever makes fewer mistakes will have a better chance of achieving a positive result.

Mineirão as the venue for the confrontation.
I believe it will be a great game, regardless of the venue. Both Mineirão and Independência are good stadiums. We have one goal in mind, which is to play a great game and win. With that in mind, I don't think the field will be an obstacle.

Hopes for the title
It's not over. Our season can be even better. I have great faith in our potential and I believe it depends on us. Palmeiras and Atlético-MG also have difficult matches ahead. Whoever makes fewer mistakes will certainly win the title, and that's what we're aiming for. The gap doesn't diminish our motivation. From four to six points, the difference remains two wins. We know the difficulty, but we still have six challenges ahead.
