“It was very difficult. My wife wanted to end the relationship. We already had two children. But she forgave me. And because of what he did, I got closer to God, I was converted. It was a very difficult, terrible time for me. Personal life. But we got over it and today I am closer to God for that. (…) When the notification of the process arrived, it was very difficult, I cried a lot, but I told my wife the truth, “he added.
The athlete also left some advice to players who are starting their careers, suggesting that they are not dazzled by the possibilities that money offers.
“Let the guys who are starting, set an example, respect your wife. My wife has been with me since I was 15 years old, so it shows that she never had an interest in my money.”
