I didn’t get into the game with this weight, my family asks me for it a lot. “Go ahead, score.” I really have pressure to win every game, to start well, to analyze what our team is lacking. What happened in the end was that God gave me something I didn’t even deserve. It was special to give victory and it was even more special because you became the top scorer in a big competition like the Copa do Brasil.
For a striker, the goal is good. I enjoy every moment, but I never lose the will to score, to win matches, this is inside me, to compete, to fight, to change the game. When I stop and play football, bike, I want to be first, I want to win. It’s what goes in the veins. But what really brings peace are the victories. Thank God it came
