“We earned a point against a great team away from home. We have to keep adding points and the draw here, the way it happened, is a victory. We have to celebrate and be happy. We drew with a rival that’s fighting for the top spots. I want to praise the group and the coach who, when the match ended, told us to believe because Fortaleza is like that, a gritty team that fights,” he said in an interview with SporTV.

“A lot of people on television keep criticizing us, saying we’re a relegated team, but Fortaleza never gives up. This club doesn’t deserve to go through what it’s going through,” he added.
