Ibson has been the team's standout performer in recent games. With outstanding performances, he has been highly praised, even by opposing coaches. For the athlete, this positive moment is due to the unity of the group and the work of the coaching staff, but mainly to the support the fans have been giving the team.

"The fans were crucial to our rise in the standings. When things were tough, they packed the Maracanã stadium for every game. Instead of demanding anything, they supported the team at every turn. I believe it will be no different in Natal, and our fans will be there."

Even with this support coming from the stands, the player is aware of the difficulties the team will face in Natal.

"We have to stay calm, as it will be a tough game. We have to get as many points as possible to climb even higher. The whole team is motivated to face Flamengo, so we have to be very careful."

With his strong performances, the player has consistently been recognized as a Brazilian national team-caliber athlete. Ibson continues to work to be ready when the opportunity arises.

"I believe that if I do a good job and the club is doing well, the opportunity will arise. There's no better exposure than playing for the biggest club in Brazil."
