Lucas Ronier, just 21 years old, is playing his first Brasileirão as a starter and is establishing himself as one of the top assist providers in the tournament.

Ronier is an offensive weapon against São Paulo

Next Wednesday (25), Coritiba will face São Paulo in a match to be held at the Couto Pereira stadium. After securing a victory as visitors, the Paraná team now seeks its first triumph in front of their home crowd. In this scenario, Ronier presents himself as one of the main offensive hopes to tip the balance of the match, sharing the spotlight with other teammates like Breno Lopes and Pedro Rocha.

Having been trained in Coritiba's youth academy since the age of 9, Ronier has shown maturity and efficiency on the field. The young forward was crucial in the 2-1 victory over Cruzeiro away from home, with a decisive assist. Additionally, he contributed with two more assists in the 3-3 draw against Chapecoense.

The number 11 himself shows confidence and optimism for the duel. “For me, it has been a wonderful experience and starting well gives confidence, rhythm, and we cannot lose this momentum. In the first round (loss to Red Bull Bragantino) we had a player sent off early in the 1st half and that changed the course of the game. I am very confident that our team will be able to put on a great performance to reward the fans with the first victory at Couto,” declared Ronier.
