Author of Corinthians goal, Mantuan talks about sacrifice to defend Corinthians
Mantuan made his debut against Sport and has already participated in seven games for Brasileirão. Against Vasco, he scored his first goal in the professional team.
– It is an inexplicable feeling, I have been at Corinthians since I was six years old, scoring goals is an inexplicable feeling. Even in a difficult moment the group is united, wanting me to fight up there, which is where Corinthians has to be. To help Corinthians, it is good to appear one day later in the national team. I want to help Corinthians stay at the table.
