Mouth injury recovery
Thank God it's improving. It's not really a problem, but I'm a little worried because, although it wasn't a serious injury, it's still fresh. The doctors did a good job, and now I just need to recover. I need to take the medication and apply the ointment at the right times to help it heal properly.
Return match against Palestino
We have the advantage of a draw in our favor, but we can't go into the field with that mindset. We need to perform to win. We know it will be a tough match, as we'll face a tough opponent. However, we're focused and will strive for qualification today.
Sequence of good results at Kléber Andrade
Without Maracanã this year, Cariacica has been one of our main venues. The fans are very welcoming, and we're happy about that. We want to maintain this unbeaten streak, even though we know it's a difficult task. All teams facing us there will take the field with extra precautions. We need to remain focused to perform well and always thank the fans who support us.
Call-up for the Brazilian National Team
I'm happy. I didn't expect it to happen at this moment, but I'm extremely happy. It's something that motivates us a lot, because it's a job everyone does, not just me. Everyone is involved in this, from the security guard at the training center entrance to the coach. They were all part of it. It's incredibly satisfying.
Focus on the competitions in dispute
Our goal is to fight for both the Copa Sudamericana and the Campeonato Brasileiro titles. We know it will be difficult, but we have the squad and group to do it. Right now, we're focused on the Copa Sudamericana. We're focused on these goals. I'm absolutely certain that whoever takes the field will deliver.
