After the victory, Ivo Vieira said, “It took a lot of hard work to achieve this. This championship is highly valued as many young players have the ability to play in Serie A, which adds to our victory’s significance. However, we need to raise our standards in terms of intensity and decision-making as the Serie A is the best in Brazil and boasts players with immense technical abilities. We must prepare ourselves adequately to perform our best at the beginning of this competition.”

This Sunday, two other Portuguese coaches, Vitor Pereira (Flamengo) and Abel Ferreira (Palmeiras), could also potentially emerge victorious in their respective state championships, the Cariocão and Paulistão.[/expander_maker]
