Lucas Sasha hails hard-fought win, urges fans to get behind the team | OneFootball

This Sunday, Fortaleza defeated Atlético-MG 1-0 and secured three important points for staying in the Série A of the Brasileirão. A starter in the victory, Lucas Sasha commented on the third consecutive win of Leão do Pici by just one goal difference. He also called for fan support in this final stretch of the championship.

“I even joke that it doesn't have to be so nerve-wracking. Sometimes we can win by a slightly bigger margin. But we are in this situation, we have to treat each game as a final, and we are doing so. To the fans, we ask for a lot of help because it's going to be like this, nerve-wracking. God willing, on the 7th we will be celebrating,” he said to Premiere.

The midfielder also spoke about the possibility of leaving the relegation zone in the next round and stated that he sees the game against Corinthians as a “final.”

“We have talked a lot about accumulating points. Many times, like today, we are the last game of the round and end up seeing some results that can be discouraging. But, as I always say, the important thing for us is to be out of the zone in the last game. If we can be out in the 37th and 38th rounds, great, if not in the next one, the most important thing is to be celebrating staying in Rio de Janeiro,” he declared.

“Every point is crucial. On Wednesday we have Corinthians here, which will be another battle, another final for us. We need the three points and we will go after them to then think about Botafogo,” he concluded.
