Andreas Speaks

After the session, midfielder Andreas Pereira reinforced the group's confidence in pursuing the season's objectives.

"We have to stay focused on the next game. We know a lot can happen, and we have to do our part, give our best on the field in the next game, and win," said the number 8, who has 16 appearances and two goals for the club.

The player also spoke about the clash against the team from Bahia (in the first round, in Salvador, the match ended in a 2-2 draw, with goals from Flaco López and Piquerez) and the importance of the support from the cheering fans.

We respect all the teams that come here. We know every team in Serie A has quality, but we also know our quality, and we will play tomorrow to earn three more points and put pressure on the standings. The support from the fans is very important; it will be the penultimate game of the season at Allianz Parque. We count on this support and will do our best on the field to achieve victory."

Andreas was suspended against Santos in the last round and will reinforce the team this Wednesday, as will fellow midfielder Allan.

The Greatest Champion of Brazil has won 10 of the last 14 matches against Vitória (with two draws and two losses), scoring 29 goals and conceding 15. As hosts, they had eight consecutive victories before last year's defeat.
