– We won a lot in Palmeiras, we were the Libertadores twice, but that was not behind us. When I found out (of the venegro interest), I was very happy. I did the test, stayed for a year and then couldn’t stay (on base when I was 13). Now I have been able to return to professionalism and I hope to give a lot of joy and titles to the fan – Patrick DePaula said, to complete:

– I’d like to thank God for another chance he gave me as well Botafogo To go back to Rio, to my house. When I’m in Rio, I say I’m in my backyard. Now, to be able to come back and play in this team that is Glorioso, the most traditional shirt in Brazil. I am very happy and so is my family.

He resumes his relationship with Rio de Janeiro, which was severed when he was 13 years old.

– when I arrived Botafogo I was very young. I was a striker at the time and got the approval of the club’s scouts. After I started training, my mother started working and going to training became more and more difficult. She did not have time to take me, she did not have many circumstances at that time. I had to stop going because I couldn’t afford it, and my mother had to work. I stopped going, I stayed about a year Botafogo And that’s why I stopped going, I couldn’t. Today I turn around wearing this shirt again and I hope to bring a lot of happiness to our fans.

Patrick de Paula said he did not know new Portuguese coach Luis Castro. Nevertheless, he made himself available to serve in the position determined by the leader:

My style of play I think everyone has seen. Do not know what the coach looks like, do not know. But when he arrives I will know what he is asking for and what he wants. If he needs me as a first or second midfielder, I’m available, even as a midfielder. I would love to play the first and second midfielder. This is where I started to stand out the most. My game is to provide the dynamics and look for the best options to move the team.

– movements Botafogo recently started. Moment Botafogo It is not simple, it is going through a complex period. Our first step was to raise the level of the team. We came from the second division and we have a lot of suffering. We have other positions to improve the club as well. We brought in a coach who understands goals Botafogo. We intend to fill some gaps in the team so we can have a tournament with minimal competition and give us time to plan other things.

– We don’t have a number because it is very difficult to predict… We are well aware of the need to raise the level of the team in all positions. Of course, we are keen to do our best at the moment. At the same time, our efforts are to enter a competitive team before the second window. We are satisfied with what we have already achieved and we have further negotiations going on. We still need to fill in the gaps. There is a need to raise the level of the team regardless of positions.

What do you have to say to Patrick from the favelas cup

When I see Patrick from the favelas cup, I feel very proud of myself. I know what I went through with my family and my daughter. When I see or think, I can say that I overcome difficulties and processes. It is with great pleasure to say that I am here again. For two or three years, I played in Varzia, since being able to play in a big club is a reason for great joy. It is an emotion. I know the responsibility is to be the biggest deal in the club’s history. But my head is clear and I have to do what I know. I’m in Rio, in my backyard. He enjoys and plays happily, but responsibly.

Nothing is easy in this life, but if you don’t try, you won’t move forward. I received a lot of affection from fans, the group and the fan embraced me. You can count on me for anything. Let’s go together, I’m a stove now.
