Last Tuesday (9), Fortaleza Esporte Clube visited Náutico's team, at Estádio dos Aflitos, in the 12th round of the Serie B of the Brazilian Championship. The Tricolor de Aço came out on top, winning the match 1-0, playing in the rival's home, and added three important points in the competition. By surpassing the Pernambucan team in the classification, the Lion reached 21 points and took fourth place in the national competition. Who had an important role in the victory, once again, was goalkeeper João Ricardo, who made excellent defenses and ensured that the tricolor goal was not breached. — It was what we talked about all week in preparation and in the locker room before the game, that we would have to have a lot of dedication from everyone, a lot of commitment, that we could even suffer, but we would win the game. It was a great victory, very important. Again, very happy to have helped well, not just me, the whole group did deserve it and is congratulated - said the goalkeeper. With the three points won in Recife, Fortaleza now occupies fourth place in the Serie B table and will have until next Tuesday to prepare for the next commitment, on the 16th, against América Mineiro, at Arena Castelão. — We are happy with the victory, with our performance and commitment, the group did deserve it. It's to follow the pace we're in, knowing that we need to work a lot, even more, always having humility and a foot on the ground. The focus now is on preparing to face América Mineiro - concluded João.
