– About injury we still don’t have concrete information. I spoke with him and he is calm, I believe in him a lot. I’m going to use the phrase that the fans use about him, with one leg he goes inside. I can’t say, but Tiquinho is f…, he’s fire. If he has to go, he goes with one leg to help the team. I saw Tiquinho there at the end giving people a morale, trying to lift people up. I congratulated the players for the work that was done – said Bruno Lage, after the match.

The attacker left the Mineirão with his knee immobilized, but managed to put his foot on the ground and walk with some difficulty.
