"Every game we go into, we think about winning. I don't think we lacked courage; everyone knows how difficult it is to play at altitude. They pressured us from beginning to end, but as we emphasized in the locker room, a draw wouldn't have been a bad result either. There was altitude involved, and it was an away game. Now it's time to work, think about the Brazilian Championship, the Copa do Brasil, and only then about Emelec."

The number 2 player also commented on the difficulties of playing at altitude.

"It's very disruptive, I personally had never played like that before. My position, which is full-back, requires me to go forward all the time and it's demanding, it's not easy to play. Anyone who comes to play here feels the difficulty and we came back with a draw, which in the end wasn't a bad result."
