What did Tainara say?

We’re happy to win the derby against Fluminense and take the decision to our home. But the most important thing is to think about the team’s growth, what we’re achieving among the goals set, and for following what the coaching staff asks of us. This game was fundamental for our confidence and to strengthen our identity. Of course we still have ups and downs. In the third set, we made a lot of mistakes. But then we imposed our rhythm and we go into this final with the fans and everything in our favor,” said Tainara.
