Everaldo, who seemed a bit under the weather after his collision, can look forward to the encounter that could be crucial for him and his team. He stated that the unusual kick-off time of 12:00 p.m. local time, which corresponds to 6:00 p.m. Central European Time, was a challenge and could also be an explanation for the performances of some players.
