According to Sofascore data, in the last five matches, Jeffinho won 24 duels, completed eight dribbles, and needed 74 minutes to participate in a goal. Additionally, he scored in the 2-1 victory against Bahia and in the 2-0 win against Ceará. In the 2-2 draw against Santos, he assisted Joaquín Correa twice.

Praise from Davide Ancelotti

After the match against Peixe, coach Davide Ancelotti praised the forward: “Jeffinho is a player who clearly has the coach's confidence. A dangerous and disruptive player that this team needs. A one-on-one player, with the final pass. It's something we don't always have in this team. That's why he is such an important player for me,” he stated.
