"The fans have to understand that we have a different kind of fight. If we were doing well, we would be aiming for the title. That's not the case. This championship is different. This game is crucial, it's a decisive match, as if it were for the title. Looking at the table, you can see that a victory against Guarani is like winning the title for us. We have to understand that there are still three more games to go before we can get out of this situation," he said.

"Nothing was decided today. If Guarani wins against Vitória, it doesn't change anything. If Vitória wins, they overtake us, but we remain far from the relegation zone. But against Guarani, yes, it's decisive. Of course, this defeat makes us sad, but the game against Guarani is the championship final for us," he concluded.
