Lucas Sasha hails hard-fought win, urges fans to get behind the team | OneFootball

This Sunday, Fortaleza defeated Atlético-MG 1-0 and secured three important points for their stay in the Série A of the Brasileirão. A starter in the victory, Lucas Sasha commented on Leão do Pici's third consecutive win by just a one-goal margin. He also called for the fans’ support in this final stretch of the championship.

“I even joke that it doesn’t have to be so nerve-wracking. Sometimes we could win by a slightly bigger margin. But we’re in this situation, we have to treat every game as a final, and that’s what we’re doing. To the fans, we ask for a lot of support because it’s going to be like this, nail-biting. God willing, on the 7th we’ll be celebrating,” he told Premiere.

The midfielder also spoke about the possibility of leaving the relegation zone as early as the next round and also stated that he sees the match against Corinthians as a “final.”

“We’ve talked a lot about adding points. Many times, like today, we’re the last game of the round and we end up seeing some results that can be discouraging. But, as I always say, what’s important for us is to be out of the relegation zone in the last game. If we can be out in the 37th and 38th rounds, great, if we can’t get out in the next one, the most important thing is to be celebrating staying up in Rio de Janeiro,” he declared.

“Every point is necessary. On Wednesday we have Corinthians here, which will be another battle, another final for us. We need the three points and we’ll go after them, then think about Botafogo,” he concluded.
