The debut against Red Bull Bragantino also marks a special reunion: it was against Massa Bruta that Ronier played his first minutes in Série A, back in 2023. Two years later, he arrives as a key player for the team that won the 2025 Série B championship. “I learned a lot during that time. I feel prepared,” said the young forward.

Ronier gained even more confidence after scoring the winning goal in the derby against Athletico in the State Championship. Internally, Coxa considers the player a key piece for staying in the top division, rejecting offers from other clubs. “The important thing is to start well. Every point makes a difference,” the athlete emphasized.

With the support of the fans at Couto Pereira, Coritiba faces Bragantino this Wednesday (28th) at 7 p.m., counting on Ronier’s competitive edge to start the championship strong. The player promises total commitment: “It’s a new moment for me and for the club.”
