Presented, Thalisson eyes tactical gains under Daniel Paulista | OneFootball

Felipe Santos / Ceará SC

Center-back Thalisson was introduced to the press this Wednesday, the 5th, at Carlos de Alencar Pinto (CAP), in Porangabuçu. Asked about the importance of the period without matches, the defender emphasized that the break was essential to improve his chemistry with his teammates and refine the tactical side under coach Daniel Paulista.

"This break was good for building chemistry with the rest of the team, for understanding how Daniel Paulista likes to play and his tactical system. Even though there are players I’ve already played with, this time was very important to improve my chemistry with the team," Thalisson began.

Against Ponte Preta, on Friday the 7th, Thalisson will experience the atmosphere of Arena Castelão with the presence of the Nação Alvinegra for the first time. For the center-back, it is a source of pride to represent Ceará’s fans and, in addition, he hopes to achieve a positive result to repay the support coming from the stands.

"My expectations are the best possible. They are a massive fan base. I feel honored to make my debut in front of the fans. [...] We’ve been training with the match against Ponte Preta in mind. Every game requires a strategy according to what the opponent presents us with. We train what Daniel asks of us, but always with focus on Ponte Preta. We have to win the match, regardless of the way," he concluded.
