— It shouldn't harm the atmosphere, because it’s a long season that we’ve been working hard for and we’re in first place in the table, we can’t forget that. But it’s definitely something we didn’t want to happen (the defeat), began Jorginho.

— We worked hard, unfortunately it didn’t go the way we prepared. But now it’s about being even more united and continuing to believe, to keep working even harder, because the results will come, added the Flamengo player.

— The Palmeiras result was obviously an opportunity that slipped away, but first, to look at Palmeiras’ result, we need to win our own games in this reality. So we have to focus on ourselves and win the next match, concluded Jorginho.
