Bareiro hails Fortaleza win, discusses fight to avoid relegation | OneFootball

This Thursday, Fortaleza defeated Bahia 3-2 at Arena Fonte Nova in Salvador, in a match valid for the 34th round of the Brazilian Championship, keeping their hopes alive in the fight against relegation. Scorer of one of the goals, Bareiro emphasized the importance of the victory and commented on the club's situation in the national competition.

"We are all sad about the situation we are in. Now we are finding much more functionality and a team that fights until the end. I think our first half was spectacular. Then, our mistakes happened and their goals. But we are playing well, and if we continue like this, it will work out (escaping the Z4)," said the player.

The Lion's forward praised the team's performance but stated that the upcoming games will be even more important to achieve good results and leave the relegation zone.

"It was very important. We have fewer and fewer games, we know we are behind, but we believe that things have to be this way. It was an important game, but now we have four more important games. Now let's enjoy, and tomorrow we need to think about the next game," concluded Bareiro.

With the victory tonight, Fortaleza ended a streak of five consecutive draws in the Brasileirão and climbed to 18th position in the table, with 34 points – two less than Vitória, who opens the Z4. This Wednesday, they visit Bragantino at 7 PM (Brasília time) at the Cícero de Souza Marques Stadium for the 35th round.
