Bahia started well in the Brazilian Championship, after coming from behind to defeat Corinthians 2-1. Everton Ribeiro, the team captain, celebrated the victory and praised Tricolor de Aço’s planning for this season, aiming for “big things.”
“We started well. I believe that the plan to keep a core group and strengthen in key areas has made us stronger for this year. I think this year we are more combative, experienced, and we want big things. To win big things, we have to do more,” said the midfielder in an interview with Premiere.
Despite falling behind on the scoreboard, Bahia responded and came from behind to beat Timão, with goals from Willian José and Jean Lucas. Even without being involved in any goals, Everton Ribeiro performed well in the match, helping to organize Rogério Ceni’s team.
“(The improvement) starts with away games, against a great team like Corinthians. Getting a win right away in the first round of the Brasileirão is very important to build confidence,” he continued.
Even with the good performance in the Campeonato Baiano and the positive debut against the current Copa do Brasil champion, Everton Ribeiro stated that there is still much work to be done.
“There’s still a long way to go, but we have to keep our feet on the ground and keep working. We’re going to do more to achieve our goals,” he concluded.
Bahia is in fourth place in the Brasileirão, with three points.
