Additionally, the number 8 also praised the team's unity and stated that the team treats all Alvinegro's games seriously. “You have to fight for everything, each game is a different game, here there are no more or less important games. We are doing a very good job. The team is very united. I am happy for the team that achieved this victory. It's time to rest because we have an important game coming up”, he concluded.

Now, Corinthians awaits the winner of the other quarter-final bracket to know who they will face in the Copa do Brasil semifinals. Cruzeiro hosts Atlético-MG in this decision, with the advantage of losing at home by up to one goal, as they won against their rival away in the first leg by 2 x 0.
