"If anyone here is afraid to play, pass the ball to me because I want to play and win this trophy."
It has been more than two years since that half-time speech at the Beira Rio stadium, but manager Tiago Nunes still remembers it vividly.
The team he coached at the time, Ahtletico Paranaense, were playing Internacional de Porto Alegre in the second leg of the 2019 Brazilian Cup final and were drawing 1-1 after the first 45 minutes.
As it stood, following a home 1-0 victory in the first leg, they were risking seeing the game head to penalties if they conceded another goal.
