Kaio César celebrates first Corinthians goal and stresses Libertadores target | OneFootball

Kaio César celebrated his first Corinthians goal in a 3-1 win over Grêmio in the 18th round of the Campeonato Brasileiro. According to Meu Timao, he reflected on the milestone and the team's objectives during the forthcoming break.

The number 37 struck 21 minutes into the second half, taking a Yuri Alberto pass on the right, driving into the box and steering into Beltrame's right corner to seal the comeback.

He said it was very important, that he had dreamed of scoring since arriving, and that opening his account brings relief and confidence for the next goals.

Corinthians now pause for more than 40 days during the World Cup. They are ninth on 24 points, clear of the drop zone, and into the last 16 of both the Copa do Brasil and the Libertadores.

They face Internacional in the Copa do Brasil last 16 on 2 and 5 August, and Rosario Central in the Libertadores on 17 and 20 August, with details to be confirmed by CBF and Conmebol.

He called both opponents strong, said Argentine sides are awkward and matches are always difficult, and insisted concentration and focus are needed to deliver a response.
