Next Saturday, the 23rd, Ceará will face Novorizontino in the 10th round of the Brazilian Série B Championship at Jorge Ismael de Biasi Stadium, in Novo Horizonte, São Paulo. Before the match, player Júlio César gave a press conference in the Sérgio Pinheiro Press Room.
The defensive midfielder looked ahead to the clash against Novorizontino, highlighting the opponent’s qualities. In his view, it will be a difficult match, especially because of the home-field advantage for the team from the interior of São Paulo. Júlio César concluded by stressing the importance of a win to keep the positive run going.
“I believe it’s going to be a very difficult match. Novorizontino, in recent years, has caused a lot of trouble and nearly earned promotion in two straight seasons. It’ll be a very tough game, and playing there is very difficult. Enderson’s work is very good; they reached the Paulista final, and that was no accident. We’re going there knowing it’ll be a real battle. But we’ll go with the same humble attitude and try to get the win there,” Júlio César said.
These and other excerpts from the pre-match press conference for Grêmio Novorizontino vs. Ceará are available on Vozão TV’s YouTube channel, the official channel of the Most Beloved club on the platform.
