The São Paulo goalkeeper also highlighted the difficulty of the match and emphasized commitment and intensity as decisive factors for the Tricolor's triumph.

“Classics are unique games, each with its own story, so we know the difficulty the opponent will pose. They also need the result, but I think we need to keep doing our work with dedication. What stood out in the games we won this year was commitment and intensity, and I think we need to repeat that to get the three points,” he concluded.
