Obina gains new momentum with the arrival of Everton

With the arrival of reinforcements for the remainder of the Brazilian Championship, Obina knows that the competition for a starting spot will be greater. However, for tomorrow's derby against Fluminense, the striker has gained renewed energy. He believes that Everton's inclusion in midfield guarantees that the forwards will have more chances to score.

"It was a little difficult for the ball to reach the front. Now we have a player with those characteristics, and it's up to us attackers to stay calm and score goals, because opportunities will certainly arise," Obina predicts, confident he'll deliver against their rivals. "When the team needs it most, a great player shows up to help."

Another player who showed enthusiasm for Everton's arrival was right-back Leonardo Moura, who sees the new signing as a modern and tactically important player.

- I spoke with Caio Júnior and told him that Everton impressed me a lot, because of his speed and skill. And also because he helps in marking.
