Daniel Paulista hails win and Ceará's second half: grit and quality | OneFootball

Wellerson Gomes / Ceará SC

Ceará achieved an important result this Sunday, the 26th, by coming from behind to beat São Bernardo 4-3, with goals from Nico Ferreira, Vina, João Gabriel, and Enzo Lodovico. The win lifted Vozão out of the Serie B relegation zone and ended a negative run of seven matches without a victory.

After the match, Daniel Paulista praised Alvinegro de Porangabuçu’s victory and highlighted Ceará’s second-half performance against São Bernardo, emphasizing the change in attitude after the break and the team’s competitive spirit. In addition, the black-and-white coach pointed out the importance of the result for the fans.

"The feeling is extremely gratifying, not only for the coaching staff and the board, but for all the players and, especially, for our fans. It is a significant victory, perhaps not because of the team’s performance—we still have a long road ahead, with many adjustments and situations to correct. But the most important thing today was the victory. And it was a hard-fought, hard-earned victory, in a way that the team never gave up. We were not able to be aggressive in the first half, and we suffered a lot because of that, ending up going into halftime behind. But when we came back for the second half, the team returned with a much more aggressive, competitive attitude, and that reflected what was seen throughout the entire second half. Ceará pushed forward and went after the result. Ceará was competitive and showed ability and some positive things," said Daniel Paulista.

During the post-match press conference, the coach also highlighted the team’s room for improvement, emphasizing that Ceará is making changes in the middle of the Brazilian Serie B campaign. This Sunday’s result, however, serves as fuel for the Club to build confidence and pursue more victories in the national competition.
