Brenno celebrates strong display as Fortaleza beat Corinthians | OneFootball

This Wednesday, Fortaleza defeated Corinthians 2-1 at Arena Castelão, in the 37th round of the Brazilian Championship, and left the relegation zone. Emotional, Brenno, the Leão goalkeeper who made important saves to secure the good result in the match, celebrated his performance.

“It’s a huge emotion, because people only see the 90 minutes, but we are human beings and football goes far beyond that. These have been difficult years, I went through surgery and I still feel pain to this day. It’s very emotional to be able to bring joy to my family and to all the fans, especially to the group that suffered so much this year,” said the goalkeeper to Sportv.

Brenno, who is replacing João Ricardo, Fortaleza’s starting goalkeeper, commented on the responsibility of taking over the position at such a delicate moment for the team in the Brasileirão.

“It’s not easy to replace a great goalkeeper, especially in such a difficult moment for the team. I can only thank our fans. Now, let’s go to the next match to seal Fortaleza’s stay in the top division with a golden key. That has been our goal since the beginning of the championship,” he concluded.

With tonight’s victory, Fortaleza climbed to 16th place in the table, with 43 points. Now, they return to the field on Sunday, when they face Botafogo at Nilton Santos Stadium in Rio de Janeiro, for the last round of the Brazilian Championship.
