— Just like Cebolinha was in the previous match. These are players for whom I ask for more sacrifice, and they do that to balance the team, in addition to having offensive quality. When I arrived, I remembered that Cebolinha had a good start and then a drop-off. It's impossible to always be at your best, but everyone is very motivated — he stated, and added:

— Samuel has shown a very positive attitude in collective terms. In the last match, he assisted Carrascal. In this one, he scored a goal. I'm satisfied with him and with the others — pointed out the coach in the press conference.
