This Wednesday, Bahia visited Vasco at São Januário, in Rio de Janeiro, and came away with a 1-0 victory in a match for the third round of the Brazilian Championship. Éverton Ribeiro, who provided the assist for Luciano Juba’s goal that secured the win, said that the team’s planning has been fundamental for their strong start to the season.
“I think the planning is working. We know we have important competitions ahead, but we’re also managing to use our youth squad, use the young players, give them experience in the Campeonato Baiano. We’re doing well, and everyone who has come in has delivered. So, we’ve had time to train, to prepare,” Éverton Ribeiro told Premiere.
“It’s very difficult to play in this rain, the field got a bit heavy. We managed to get ahead and played a very solid game. We knew we would face shots, crosses, but the whole team, everyone who came on, did very well. So, it shows the strength of our squad. We’re not just 11, right? We’re 25, 30, even the young players are coming in, they’re helping. So, we need to keep our feet on the ground and work hard,” he concluded.
With the victory over Vasco, Bahia takes the temporary runner-up spot in the Brazilian Championship, tied with leaders São Paulo, both with seven points. This season, Tricolor de Aço remains unbeaten, with two wins and a draw in the Brasileirão and six wins and a draw in the State Championship.
