I know how hard it is to work for this. I’m really happy. I hope to return the favor in the best possible way, with victories, goals and assists.

I was very emotional because I know how much I fight, work and dedicate myself to training. It was a comforting goal, that opened the scoring in Botafogo’s win – and concluded.
