"It was a very important game for us because the team deserved better results, and the result we were looking for had eluded us."
"The players played a very good game. We controlled a team that is very difficult to control and has very good individual players. I'm happy with the players; they had been looking for this. Hopefully, this victory will be the starting point for something better. We have to continue on this path."
"Beyond how the outside world feels, the most important thing is how we feel internally, how they train, how they fight to overcome adversity. We went out on the field to play with a lot of courage."
"I know what the players go through when they don't win, so I'm happy for them."
"The effort from day one until today has been impeccable. Today we were able to get the result, but we have always competed like this. I don't just analyze the result, I analyze the behavior that my team should have."
"In every game there are successes and mistakes, the important thing is that once again the team played with a lot of determination and enthusiasm, convinced that we were going to win."
"We defended very well, and when we had the ball, we dared to play. I liked the winning and competitive mentality, both of those who started and those who finished on the field."
"This team caused an upset. We came to win and we did it, with sufficient merit. This team deserves respect. This result is no surprise to us because we came to win."
"As long as I see this team alive, we're going to fight. I know the demands and it's okay for them to demand a lot from us, but we have to build on patience and hard work."
