Lucas Cunha is happy with São José's victory and leadership in Series C: 'It's very important'
São José-RS defeated América-RN 2-0 and finished second in the Brazilian Series C Championship, Zeca's fifth victory in 11 games. One of the competition's standout teams, defender Lucas Cunha, spoke about the team's form, another goalless game in the competition, the third to date, and the fifth best defense. Undefeated in Passo D’Areia, São José hosts América and needs to win for second place. Only in the second half did Zequinha manage to open the scoring, with goalkeeper Fábio Rampi winning a free kick. A few minutes later, Sillas increased the score and declared victory. - It was an important victory against a very worthy team. Winning a game without conceding goals at this level is crucial in such a tough competition – congratulations Lucas Cunha. Even in second place, the difference in points between São José and ninth-placed Confiança is just three points. For Lucas Cunha, it was one of the toughest editions in recent times, which shows how unequal the competition has been so far, but it shows that Zeca has everything it takes to continue fighting for first place in this first phase. - In my opinion, this is the most difficult series C in recent times, which clearly highlights this slight difference in points. We deserve to finish second in the championship, we have an adequate scheme, defensive consistency, the best attack in the competition, we have to keep trying, correct the small mistakes, in the last third we also have to keep preparing for the competition - said the defender. With the best attack and the fifth best defense, São José is surprisingly not one of the teams mentioned to finish first in the competition. In Zequinha's 11 matches in the tournament, starter Lucas Cunha spoke about the team championship and how good the season was this year. - São José surprised all outside observers, because we players, who we interact with every day, already know that we can fight at the top of the table. - I'm having a good season, series C with 16 state games for Portuguesa Santos and 11 state games for São José, with a regular sequence and safe performance - added Lucas Cunha. São José returns to the field next Sunday, the 9th, at 7pm, in the Brazilian Series C Championship, against Aparecidense, at the Aníbal Toledo stadium. With the victory, Zequinha remains in second place with 24 points and a chance to get closer to the leader of the Amazonas competition.
