— We are doing a lot of juggling to sign players who can deliver results, even without being able to invest. The board deserves congratulations for their effort. We are going up against a powerful opponent, who can bring in players from the Premier League, but it will be a Corinthians that is brave and confident — Dorival Júnior began.
— We are rotating the squad so that everyone can be prepared. Today was a tough game, with missed opportunities, but we remain confident that we will be able to present the best Corinthians in the weekend's final — he concluded.
