Cássio eyes top four, but title hopes alive at Cruzeiro: “If they slip, we’re in” | OneFootball

This Wednesday, in a match valid for the 32nd round of the Brazilian Championship, Grêmio hosted Cruzeiro at the Arena and was defeated 1-0. One of the standout players for Cruzeiro in the match, goalkeeper Cássio highlighted the team's main goal in the competition and discussed a possible fight for the title.

"We have to value the team's commitment. Everyone is engaged in helping Cruzeiro. I also want to thank the fans for coming to support us today. Our goal is the G4, to secure this position first, keep winning and, automatically, stay at the top. It was a very important victory, away from home, against a tough team like Grêmio," stated Premiere.

With the result, Cruzeiro reached 63 points, in third place on the table, and reduced their point difference to two in relation to Palmeiras (65). However, the Alviverde can regain the advantage this Thursday, when they face Santos at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) at Allianz Parque.

"With a lot of dedication, effort, and commitment, we achieved a result that brings us closer to our first goal, which is the G4. After that, we'll see what happens. I think that, since we are a bit behind the leaders, we need to focus on accumulating points. We can't lose anymore. It's about continuing to score points and seeing what happens. If the teams ahead stumble, we'll be in the fight. Our focus is to do our best in each match and maintain this sequence. Now it's about scoring points and coming strong in the final stretch," he concluded.

Cruzeiro returns to the field next Sunday at 4 PM, when they host Fluminense at Mineirão, for the 33rd round.
