“It’s very rewarding to reach this great milestone at my home, Neo Química Arena. It’s a place where I feel very good. The fans give me incredible confidence and support so that I can reach these numbers and get close to great names like star Neto (80 goals) as one of the century’s top scorers,” he said.

“I feel very proud and grateful to the whole team for this support. Alone, I wouldn’t be able to reach these great milestones. Thanks to my teammates and our entire staff, who give me the support I need to be well and happy on the pitch, helping our Coringão, scoring goals and providing assists,” he added.

Yuri also recalled the last time he was at the Maracanã, when he scored one of the goals in Corinthians’ 2-1 win over Vasco in the Copa do Brasil final last season. He also looked ahead to the team’s next match, against Fluminense, this Wednesday at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time).

“Going back to the Maracanã after winning a major title is really special. We know how important these three points are for the Brasileirão. We’re going there confident, with our fans, who will once again flood Rio de Janeiro to give us a lot of support so we can come away with the win,” he concluded.
