Jorge gave a press conference in the press room at CT George Helal after training on Tuesday. His stunning goal in the match against Ponte Preta last Sunday (29) received the attention it deserved from journalists, but the left-back remained humble and dedicated it to the team. The young player also spoke about the team's performance in the victory and the upcoming match against Vitória. See the main excerpts:

Keep your feet on the ground
This is the most dangerous aspect of football. We got a good result against Ponte Preta, but now we need to focus on the next game. We have to look for another win to stay strong in the competition.

Great goal
I'm happy with the goal. I didn't realize the ball was going 109 km/h. This goal was for the whole team. Our performance showed how united we are.

Good start to the Brazilian Championship
This championship is very strong, unlike any other competition. The results at the beginning of the season were poor, but now we have to focus entirely on the Brazilian Championship. We can't let our guard down. The start is good, but we need to stay focused.

Ze Ricardo
He's a guy of extreme quality, with unique game ideas. I really value Muricy; I learned a lot from him, and also from Jayme, who was my first coach in the professional team. Zé Ricardo changed some things in the team's organization on the field. The team's briefing was also very characteristic of him. Ever since he was in charge of the youth academy, he demonstrated his desire to win. He always demanded a lot from all the players, including individually. This is good for the group.

Match against Vitória
We need to go in focused and know that it's another tough game. We gave our all in the match against Ponte Preta, but in the upcoming match, we have to give even more. We know they'll come into this game wanting to make things difficult for us.
