"He's certainly confident in himself and what he's capable of. And production-wise, didn't start the season the way I'm sure he would have liked, or maybe what we would have expected."
"I'm happy for [Evander] and seeing how he's managed [a poor run], and how he's continued to push forward, and he's being rewarded with some production now."
"Evander's finish against the Pigeons was the 44th goal of his MLS career, setting the record for most goals scored by a Brazilian-born player in league history."
"I know he takes a lot of pride in where he comes from and what he represents. So that's special, so hopefully it continues."
Evander struggled at the start of the season but has recently scored in two consecutive matches, including a crucial penalty in a draw against New York City FC. FC Cincinnati currently sits 11th in the Eastern Conference. Coach Pat Noonan expresses hope that Evander's newfound confidence and scoring ability will inspire the team to improve their standings. Evander's latest goal marks a milestone as he becomes the highest-scoring Brazilian in MLS history, reflecting his pride in his heritage and contributions to the team.
