Lazio player since 2016, the defender played with Joaquin Correa for three seasons in the Romanian team. The Brazilian claims that he has a strong friendship with the Argentine player, who moved to Inter Milan at the beginning of the current season. But he acknowledges that he is exalted in celebration.

It’s important to make it clear that I respect Inter or any other club. We are all professionals, working towards our goals, and we will never lack respect with another fellow professional. At the end of the game, I ended up jumping on Toko’s back because he’s one of the great friends football has given me. Our families are friends and we have always been very close. There, what I wanted most was to hug him and laugh about the outcome, as our friendship allows, but I got excited. Perhaps, on second thought, this was not the best time or the most appropriate place – the player concluded.
