Evanilson believes that team cohesion is a key reason for the team's recent good form.

Following Bournemouth's victory over Arsenal, striker Evanilson praised the team's focus and cohesion, stating that their focus has shifted to this weekend's away game against Newcastle United. The Brazilian forward provided a crucial assist for Alex Scott at the Emirates Stadium, helping his team score the winning goal and bringing his goal involvements against the traditional "Big Six" in the Premier League to 10.

The 26-year-old player reviewed the team's preparations before defeating the league leaders, emphasizing the team's focused performance in this high-intensity match. Evanilson stated, "We were well aware of the difficulty of this game. We have been constantly learning and training, and after several weeks of systematic preparation, we stepped onto the field with a clear objective."

“I think in matches of this level, you have to be highly focused. The whole team was very committed, and we eventually won the game. It was a very tough victory against the team that is first in the standings. We had a short celebration, but we still have to keep moving forward.”

Riding this momentum, Bournemouth will face a tough away game next. Evanilson anticipates a hard-fought match against Newcastle United. He stated, "We expect this away game to be very difficult. Newcastle United are a strong team with many high-caliber players."

“We are preparing with all our might and hope to continue the good form we showed against Arsenal and strive to get three very important points for us. Every game in the Premier League is difficult, and we are well aware that we will face another tough test this weekend.”

Evanilson also spoke about the team's growing sense of purpose and ambition this season. If the results continue to favor them, they will have a chance to compete for a European spot. He stated, "I think it largely depends on ourselves and how we perform in the final few games."

“If we can get enough points, we’ll have a chance to qualify for European competition, which is a dream for Bournemouth. I’ve said since I came here that I hope to represent the club in European competition. Not just me, all the players have the same idea. I think we’re very close to our goal, but we must continue to maintain the form we’ve shown in recent games.”

The striker believes Bournemouth's recent excellent form is primarily due to the strong team cohesion. Evanilson added: "It's a very united group. The players come from all over the world, but we always maintain consistency on the pitch. We have a great relationship both on and off the pitch, and I think that helps the team a lot."
